LONG NUDE
Estimate:

Barrie Cooke HRHA, 1931-2014
LONG NUDE
Oil on canvas, 72 3/4" x 72 3/4" (185 x 185cm), signed, inscribed and dated 2006 verso.
Provenance: The Kerlin Gallery (label verso).
Barrie Cooke, English born, moved to live in Ireland in 1954 and came to be regarded as one of the leading contemporary artists of his time. As Aidan Dunne of The Irish Times wrote in his obituary, he was an artist of great integrity; a passionate fisherman and a true lover of the natural world that was always central to his work.: Apart from his large, brave landscapes, loose and free flowing; his figurative works stand out. Never a painter to take the easy option his nudes are reminiscent of Bacon and Freud. Paint drips across the canvas with the sitter submerged in the paint. There is a sensuality but never any emphasis on producing the pretty picture.
All Cooke's painterly qualities can be seen in these two nudes (lots 27 and 28), one on a small scale and the other on a more monumental one.
