Discover the real Beryl Cook through a wealth of newly unearthed material that brings fresh insight to one of Britain’s most beloved artists.

Beryl Cook (1926–2008) was renowned for her exuberant paintings yet she remained a famously private figure. Now, thanks to unprecedented access to a recently rediscovered family archive, a fuller picture of Beryl emerges.

This book offers the most vivid and intimate picture yet of a singular artist, carrying with it a large amount of leopard print and dollops of saucy humour.
