ART & EXHIBITIONS LIST
COOKING WITH BERYL
Beryl Cook, City Art Centre, Edinburgh In the Seventies Beryl Cook was quite a card. An untrained artist (she was 3 Plymouth housewite who painted in her spare time until an exhibition in 1975 rocketed herto lame), she painted ladies holding their lur coats open to passing business men, ladies on park benches showing their knickers and trequently their suspenders and ladies with wide bottoms making their platform-soled way through the oranges in the truit market. Forbidden truit is tasty in Beryl Cook's book. Tits and bums and red, red lips become down-to-earth models in her paintings. A shy, publicity-shunning person, Cook's paintings reveal the extrovert and lantasist in everyone. But there is little sleaze in her paintings. Her key to success must be that she hits the lunny bone at tantasy making a pinch ol the bum as healthy as jogging in Central Park (she paints them both). Plumply undressed her motherly voyeur peers at an orgy ot clothed bodies and gay discos are nice and blue. While seeming to titillate, Beryl Cook is a lady (she does bear a striking resemblance to most at her ladies —with their beads and eye-shadow they are never simply women) who makes sex as comty as a bowl ot rice pudding. In the Eighties, the years at the yuppie, this view seems slightly old-lashioned. (Alice Bain)
