Jesse Bryant Wilder Knihy

From hen-parties to pub-goers, it was the larger-than-life people of Plymouth that dominated Beryl Cook's colourful paintings and won her thousands of fans across the world. The sea-front city was her beloved home for many years, and it inspired much of her best-known work. Writers and critics Jess Wilder (co-director of Portal Gallery, London), Bernard Samuels (director of Plymouth Arts Centre, 1971-1996, who discovered and was the first to exhibit Cook), Edward Lucie-Smith (international art critic), Bernadette Casey (cultural writer) and Babs Horton (novelist, prize-winning author) offer a unique perspective on the self-taught artist and a critical reassessment of her place within British Art. Illustrations of early and rarely seen work from the Cook family home in Looe, sit alongside some of her instantly recognisable paintings. This book has been produced by the University of Plymouth Press to accompany the first major retrospective of Beryl's work and has a limp case binding with overhang, end papers, sewn section, head and tail bands, 246 x 189 mm full colour match with originals exhibited at the University Peninsula Art Gallery.

The fun and easy way to brush up on art history Ranging from prehistoric cave paintings to postmodern art installations, this is an ideal resource for students of art history as well as anyone who wants a lively yet systematic introduction to art through the ages.

Unreal City contains five highly charged stories about relationships: “Echoes into Eternity,” “Evelyn Dalton-Hoyt,” “Emordana,” “The Yellowknife Retrospective,” and “Objet d’Art.” The stories address gender, narcissism, marriage, subjectivity, objectification, and the thin line that divides love from hate. Bryant’s characters sometimes feel like they are navigating their way through the darkness in an attempt to make sense of love, sex, art, and life. Existential and elliptical, the stories play beautifully against Bryant’s precise and fully-realized artwork, which echoes such masters as Jaime Hernandez and Daniel Clowes. In Unreal City, characters cannot walk into a room without their world turning inside out. Readers will be similarly upended by the discovery of this major new talent.
