Elizabeth Cope – Palpable Hardcover – 24 Nov. 2002
by Aidan Dunne (Author), William Laffan (Author)

"For over half a century, Elizabeth Cope has been creating a body of work that is quite unlike that of any other living artist. Alive to all the complexities and contradictions of human life, her paintings can be, on the one hand, profound, hard-hitting, sometimes even brutal, or witty, decorative and alluringly life-affirming on the other. The quotidian and the taboo sit happily side by side, while savagery mingles with beguiling beauty in strangely harmonious conjunction." — William Laffan This is evident in PALPABLE.
