About the Item

TAXI is a hand drawn limited edition lithograph by the well known and loved British artist and humorist, Beryl Cook(1926-2008). Printed using hand lithography techniques on archival Arches paper, 100% acid free. TAXI presents a satirical city street scene depicting a male businessman dressed in a beige pin stripe suit assisting a vivacious, curvy, curly haired "lady in red" into an iconic London "Black" cab. TAXI's amusing scene takes place in front of an intriguing backdrop of building construction complete with rubble and beams, where a nonchalant construction worker stands whistling by his steam shovel in the background as the spectacle unfolds. Seeing the facial expressions portrayed on the faces of fellow passengers and cab driver add to the viewer's amusement in this quintessential Beryl Cook image. Print size - 34 x 27 inches, unframed, unsigned Printers Proof from the master printer's private collection Image size - 25" x 19" Edition size - 300, plus proofs Year published - 1990, printed at J K Fine Art Editions Co. NYC Publisher - Flanagan Graphics Beryl Cook's unique artistic humor documented familiar social situations like girls night out, clubbing or shopping, men in the pub, at a strip club or at the market capturing "moments of social history, portrayed with a playful streak of naughtiness". She is quoted as saying: "I'm only motivated to paint by people enjoying themselves."
