"Fisherman's Wharf - San Francisco" Multi Layer Screen Print on Paper - Signed
Rare and bold Screen Print (Silk Screen) of Fisherman's Wharf 1957 by Gordon Cope (American, 1906-1999). Several boats are docked at Fisherman's Wharf, with buildings directly behind them. In the distance, the hills of San Francisco can be seen meeting a pale blue sky. Of particular note is the skillful representation of the reflections of the boats in the water, and the clever use of grey paper as negative space.
Numbered and titled in pencil in the lower left corner "22/100 Fisherman's Wharf - San Francisco"
Hand signed and dated in pencil in the lower right corner "Gordon Cope 1957"
Titled, signed, and dated "in plate"
Presented in a silver colored frame with a double mat.
Frame size: 22.5"H x 27"W
Image size: 15"H x 20"W
Gordon N. Cope (American, 1906-1999) was an educator and painter. Trained in Utah and France, he exhibited his landscape paintings and portraits in the United States and Europe, and he believed music was related to painting.
Cope was born on May 14, 1906, in Salt Lake City. He was trained by Utahn artists LeConte Stewart and Lawrence Squires, and at the Académie Julian in Paris, France in 1928. He also studied singing at the Opéra-Comique.
Cope taught art at Latter-day Saints University, and he served as the chair of its Department of Art in 1930–1931. He taught at the Mountain School of Art from 1932 to 1938, and he was the director of the Art Barn School in Salt Lake City in 1939–1941. Cope painted Utahn landscapes as well as a portrait of Henry H. Blood, who served as the seventh governor of Utah from 1933 to 1941. Cope exhibited his work in the United States and Europe. According to the Deseret News, Cope "felt that music and painting are closely interrelated, and that the study of one form may be used to complement the appreciation and understanding of the other."
Cope died on June 10, 1999, in San Francisco, California.
Gordon Nicholson Cope studied with well-known Utah artists A.B. Wright and LeConte Stewart, and became recognized as a major Utah artist of the Great Depression. Cope was born in Salt Lake City in 1906 and spent much of his life in Utah.
Cope gained much of his artistic training from diverse environments and influences. Following his training with the previously mentioned artists, Cope spent the next year, 1924, working with Lawrence Squires in Arizona. To expand his knowledge and training, Cope traveled to Europe, where he studied the "old masters" such as Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael. From 1924 to 1928, Cope studied in England, France, Italy, Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and worked for a year at the Acadamie Julian, where many early Utah artists had studied.
Two years after returning to Utah, Cope began the Art Department at the LDS University and worked there until 1931. Cope continued working as a painter while maintaining a career in art education. As an educator, Cope was employed with the Mountain School of Art from 1932 - 1933; and during 1939 - 1941, Cope was the Director of the Art Barn School (which became the Salt Lake Art Center), as well as continuing with the Mountain School of Art.
Cope donated much of his time to civic duty during the 1930s. During Roosevelt's term, the President created the Works Projects Administration (WPA) as part of his New Deal. According to Roosevelt, one aim of the administration was to account for what artistic material existed in America. The administration included ten artists, one of whom was Gordon Cope. He also was involved with other governmental work under the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, which included the completion of murals for the state capitol dome.
