Gayford, Martin and Sara Lee — Eileen Cooper: Between the Lines

London, Royal Academy of Arts, 2015. Hardcover. Color-illustrated boards with lilac cloth spine and white lettering. 287 pp. Color illustrations. This long-overdue publication on Eileen Cooper RA spans the entire breadth of her career, from her early days as a singular figurative voice in British art, and her exploration of ideas of feminism and femininity in painting, to her current mature work, characterised by uninhibited colours bursting with energy, contained by her expressive use of line. This comprehensive book places the artist in the context of British art over the last three decades. In a substantial and wide-ranging essay, Martin Gayford resumes his ongoing investigation of Cooper's work, aided by extracts from a recent series of interviews with the artist.--Publisher.
