Cook 81 died peacefully earlier today with her husband and son her side
A former seaside landlady who taught herself to paint in her forties,Cook become one of Britain's best known and most distinctive painters
But critics largely ignored her typical portrayals of port life in Plymouth and her paintings were refused by most of the major galleries for much of her career
She is best known for creating a colorful and comical world of oversized women and sailor.The comedian Victoria Wood once described her as “Rubens with jokes”
Describing her own work she once said,“I don’t how my picture happen,they just do.”Her fans have long accused the major art galleries of ignoring her works,which sell for up to £40000
But towards the end of her life she enjoyed wider appreciation,with a major exhibition last year at the Baltic gallery in Gateshead
Jess Wilder,co-owner of London’s Portal Gallery,which has shown her paintings for more than 30years,said,”It`s very sad indeed.She was painting until very recently,”
One of four sisters,Cook left school at 14 and in 1943 moved to London and become a showgirl in a touring production of The Gypsy before working in fashion
In 1964 she married childhood friend John,with whom she briefly ran a pub when he retired from the Merchant Navy.Their son,also named John,was born in 1950,and the following year they left to live in Southern Rhodesia-a move said to be a turning point for Cook
After picking up some paints belonging to her son,she began creating images on pieces of wood,fire screens and even a breadboard.The family later moved to Plymouth,where in the summer mouths they ran a boarding house.The couple enjoyed visiting local bars
A local exhibition in the mid-1970s attracted huge acclaim,followed by a cover and feature in the Sunday Times magazine and Cook’s first London exhibition,which was a sellout.In 1979 Melvyn Bragg made a film about Cook for South Bank Show.In1995 she was awarded the OBE
库克在丈夫和儿子的陪伴下平静的去世了,享年八十一岁.早期她是海边一所房子的女主人,四十多岁的时候自学了画画.库克成为了英国最著名最有特色的画家之一.但是评论家很大程度上忽略了她对毛利普斯港口生活的典型写照,...
