Claude Cahill Cooper
“Flatiron Building, New York”
Circa 1975

About the Item

Oil on wooden panel painting of the iconic Flatiron building in New York City by the British artist Claude Cahill Cooper. Signed lower right. Condition is excellent. Circa 1975. The painting is housed in its original ornate gold leaf frame. Overall framed measurements are 23.25 by 19.25 inches. Claude Cahill Cooper (b. 1941) An Impressionist painter, he uses the pointillist method in many of his paintings. . Claude Cahill Cooper was born in London, England to parents who were both doctors. Recognizing his talents in drawing at an early age, his parents enrolled him at the Coventry Art School while he was still attending primary school. In later years he attended the London Art Institute and had his first show a few years later. His works are exhibited in London, Paris, and New York and his typical signature is C.C. Cooper. Flatiron Building, originally Fuller Building, steel-framed skyscraper in New York City that was completed in 1902. It is one of the city’s oldest surviving skyscrapers. The Flatiron Building on Fifth Avenue is significant not only in its unusual appearance but also as one of the key buildings in the Beaux-Arts Classicist movement. Its architect, New York–born Daniel Burnham, is better known for his work and plans in Chicago than in his city of birth. In 1873 he formed a partnership with John Wellborn Root that was significant in creating a group of architects and engineers called the Chicago School. The commercial office tower scheme, named initially after the building’s promoter George Fuller, is situated on a tight triangular site in the Madison Square Park area of Manhattan. Also famed as one of the first buildings to use a steel skeleton, it is constructed in three horizontal sections, like a Greek column, and, atypically for the time, uses extensive elevators. Its name, Flatiron, comes from its resemblance to the clothing irons used at the turn of the 20th century. At its narrowest point at the very top of its 22-story 285-foot (87-meter) structure, the building is unusually narrow—just 6.5 feet (2 meters) wide. The Flatiron Building is a popular landmark in the New York landscape—so much so that the district it sits in became known by the building’s name.
