Description: Large, humorous original limited edition fine art lithographic print, depicting a group of people dancing to a jazz band, entitled 'Jiving to Jazz' this piece is by the renowned British artist Beryl Cook OBE (1926-2008), famous for her original and instantly recognisable paintings featuring comically stylised people in everyday life Beryl Francis Lansley was born in Egham, Surrey and, upon leaving school at 14, worked in various jobs, including as a model and showgirl. In 1948, she married John Cook, and moved to Rhodesia (now Zimbabwe) in 1956, where, with no formal training she produced her first painting. She moved to England in 1965 and began to focus on her painting, first in cornwal, then in Plymouth, where she split her time between running a guest house and painting. The success of her first exhibition at the Plymouth Arts Centre in 1975 led to a cover feature in The Sunday Times, and regular exhibitions throughout her remaining life. She published many books of her works, was featured in a number of television programmes and won numerous awards throughout her career, including the Order of the British Empire in 1995. - Personally signed, and numbered in pencil by the artist lower margin- Blind stamp lower left- Confirmation of authenticity provided by Gainsborough Fine Art - Number 171 of only 650 limited edition prints ever produced - Beautifully framed, glazed and ready to hang, in a bold brushed gilt- coloured frame, with a gilt-trimmed mount - Frame size 80cm x 80cm (approx. 31 1/2 inches x 31 1/2 inches) - Both limited edition print and frame are in excellent condition- Excellent investment- Fabulous centrepiece- Humorous conversation piece - Original gift - All prints are carefully packaged to prevent damage during shipping- Please contact us for European and Worldwide shipping prices- If you have any questions about this item, please contact us and we will respond within an hour
