[Britten, Benjamin. (1913–1976)] Cosman, Milein. (1921–2017). Original Etching. Original etching of the great composer and conductor, depicted with baton in hand by the German artist. Signed by Cosman in pencil to lower margin and hand numbered as 20 in an edition of 50. In fine condition. 8 x 10.75 inches (20.3 x 27.3 cm.). From the collection of Raymond Leppard.
The German-born artist Milein Cosman sketched some of the greatest cultural figures of the mid-20th century, including TS Eliot, Benjamin Britten, and Barbara Hepworth. A number of her works hang in the National Portrait Gallery, the V&A, and The British Museum.
The NY Times Obituary (10.22.19) describes Leppard as “a conductor who resuscitated moribund 17th-century operas in helping to nurture a major revival of interest in Baroque music, and who went on to a wider career as a guest conductor of major orchestras and the longtime music director of the Indianapolis Symphony….A prolific recording artist, he made more than 200 records, many of them with the English Chamber Orchestra, which he conducted starting in the early 1960s.”
