<DIV> </div> This thought-provoking retrospective on Eileen Cooper (b. 1953) 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, character­ized by uninhibited colors bursting with energy, contained by her expressive use of line. In a substantial and wide-ranging essay, Martin Gayford expands his ongoing investigation of Cooper’s work, aided by extracts from a recent series of interviews with the artist.
