Breast Cancer, 1910
A giant claw pierces the breast of a sleeping naked woman, another naked woman swoops down and stabs the claw with a knife; representing the surgical treatment of breast cancer. Richard Tennant Cooper (1885 - 1957) was an English artist whose metaphorical phantasmic paintings show the negative effects of both disease and medical cures on the human body. There is little or no biographical information about his personal life. Watercolor, 1910
