Biography
watercolour painter, Sydney. Exhibited [Royal] Art Society of NSW, 1894. Society of Artists 1895: “Mr R. Sidney Cocks … well represented here [watercolour section]” ( Sydney Morning Herald , 27 September 1895, p.2). “Mr Sidney Cocks shows some very artistic water-colors” ( Bulletin , 5 October 1895, p.20). Society of Artists 1897: “R. Sydney Cocks’ 'Showers’ (no.77) is a tender water-colour worth noting for its cloud effects and for the suggested fall of rain in the distance” ( Sydney Morning Herald , 1 May 1897, p.7). Society of Artists 1897: “Mr R. Sidney Cocks appears to be the most prominent contributor to the water-colour division. His sea-scapes are of unequal merit, but No.25 'The Ceaseless Battle 'tween Sea and Rocks’, is decidedly clever, and the rich tints of the rock in the foreground are true to nature. 'Sunset on Leura Cliffs’ (no.7) is at fault not from the richness of the blue colour, but from its opaque quality. An atmosphere so palpably solid is an absurdity” ( Sydney Morning Herald , 2 October 1897, p.7). Exhibited Society of Artists 1899. Exhibited Society of Artists Commonwealth Exhibition 1901.
