Revel Cooper

Revel Cooper

Revel Cooper (1938–1983) was an indigenous Australian artist. Born in Katanning, Western Australia in 1938, he spent his early life at the Carrolup Native Settlement. He was a member of the child artists of Carrolup, whose paintings were discovered in 1950 by English women Florence Rutter, and exhibited overseas. Unlike many of the child artists of Carrolup, Cooper continued painting into adulthood. For a while he was a full-time artist with Aboriginal Enterprises at Belgrave, Victoria, and in 1976 he was the illustrator of Mary Durack's "Yagan of the Bibbulmun", a work of juvenile fiction. For a time he also worked as chauffeur to the Director of Aboriginal Welfare in Melbourne. He died in 1983.
