Beautiful Lowcountry landscapes, farm labor and life growing up in rural South Carolina, are all scenes depicted inĀ "Time and Place: The Artwork of James Fowler Cooper." This new exhibition, opening Sept. 19, tells the story of the Lowcountry through the eyes of South Carolina printmaker James Fowler Cooper. Cooper (1907-1968), a self-taught printmaker who grew up on a farm in Williamsburg, chronicled the people and places near his hometown through his work. Although he depicted scenes, he was not trying to tell a story. Instead, his focus was on his art and not his subjects. He never had the intention of becoming a commercial artist.
