Beryl Cook, OBE (born 10 September 1926) is a popular British painter.
She is famous for paintings of fat people; more accurately put she is celebrated for a kind of populist genre painting of ordinary, unassuming folk without pretensions and their typical activities, with a playful streak of vulgarity and naughtiness.
