‘Rubens with jokes’: UK exhibitions place Beryl Cook in the art historical canon

Two concurrent exhibitions in Plymouth, England, are re-evaluating the work of the late British artist Beryl Cook, long dismissed by critics for her popular, humorous paintings of plump, joyful people. The Box gallery presents "Beryl Cook: Pride and Joy" (until 31 May), which places Cook within the Western art canon by tracing her influences from Peter Paul Rubens and Pieter Brueghel the Younger to Stanley Spencer and Edward Burra. The show features over 80 paintings, sculptures, textiles, and a personal archive, and is curated by Terah Walkup. A parallel exhibition at Karst gallery, "Discord and Harmony" (until 18 April), pairs Cook's legacy with contemporary artists like Olivia Sterling, Rhys Coren, and Flo Brooks, who similarly champion overlooked communities.

The Penn Museum at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia will open its new 2,000-square-foot Native North America Gallery on Saturday, November 22, after two years of planning. The long-term exhibition replaces the 2014 show "Native American Voices: The People—Here and Now," which was curated by Lucy Fowler Williams with around 80 Native consultants but felt fragmented. This time, Williams and co-curator Megan C. Kassabaum worked closely with eight Native American curators—not just advisors—to determine the stories told. The gallery highlights moments of rupture, loss, and betrayal alongside resilience, and includes an empty vitrine to acknowledge repatriation efforts and culturally sensitive objects that tribes prefer not to display.
