The Robert Fraser Gallery in Duke Street, Mayfair - to which Cooper became attached in 1964 - played host to the incipient Pop Art movement as well as to established names such as Jean Dubuffet and Rene Magritte.  \r\n\r\nCooper typically photographed in available light and in a documentary style.  He turned photojournalist proper - though commissioned by no-one - to record two occasions when the counter-culture stood firm against the establishment, calling for the cessation of American military involvement in Vietnam.  Cooper turned his camera on the riots at the Democratic Convention, Chicago, in the summer of 1968 and the disturbances in the same year outside the American embassy in London. \r\n\r\nThe subjects of Michael Cooper's photographs were, as he said \"not just faces that I have photographed but people I have worked with or become involved with on a very personal level\".  They are an intimate chronicle of the cultural and political climate of a vibrant moment of history. \r\n\r\nRobin Muir","date":{"text":"1999","earliest":"1999-01-01","latest":"1999-12-31"}}],"partNumbers":["E.2062-2004"],"accessionNumberNum":"2062","accessionNumberPrefix":"E","accessionYear":2004,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-12","recordCreationDate":"2004-03-17","availableToBook":false}}
