Key West & Cuba’s Museum Quality Regional Art Celebrating Cultural Resilience William Nelson Copley 1919 NYC – 1996 Key West American 17” x 14”, Collage Copley was a self-taught American painter whose post WWII career carved out a defiantly surrealistic personal lane along with friends; Max Ernst, Dorothea Tanning, Mann Ray, Magritte and Duchamp— one built on humor, eroticism, Dadaism, Surrealism, and social critique. His work blended curvilinear, often faceless figures with bold outlines, radiant color, and a flat, dreamlike pictorial space. He signed his work CPLY, a vowelless reinvention of his adoptive family name that became a lifelong artistic persona. Solo exhibits at the Pompidou in Paris, Staalich in Amsterdam, Prada Foundation Milan and the Bern Kunsthalle, Switzerland, inclusion in MOMA & Whitney, New York and 37 catalogs rounded out his career.
