Beryl Cook's place deep in the heart of the British public is long-standing . Her humour, playfulness, subtlety and perceptiveness have guaranteed her position as Britain's most enduringly popular artist. Saucy and shy, risque and prudish, she records details of contemporary life with irrepressible glee. Cruising is a book that illustrates both the sailing and the amorous kinds. Whether it's a group of large women tumbling into a tardis-sized jacuzzi on the deck of an ocean liner, or a bride-to-be lunging into the arms of an unsuspecting Tarzanogram on her hen night, Beryl Cook paints with delicious wit, inviting us in on a world having a good time.

Beryl Cook first came to prominence as a painter in the 70s, with the publication of The Works and exhibitions at the Whitechapel Gallery and the Portal Gallery. Her works has appeared at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and the Glasgow Museum of Modern Art.
