Stan Cooper moved to Suffolk in 1979 having spent 20 years teaching art in the Midlands. Having previously practised art in various mediums, he concentrated almost entirely on printmaking. His subject matter focussed on either the local landscape or scenes of provincial France. His technique of producing prints from a single block of lino, progressively cut away, produced results which are delicate of line and bold of colour.
