Jack Sprat Could Eat No Fat, Phyllis Cooper, 1930 This artwork, titled 'Jack Sprat Could Eat No Fat,' is a delightful interpretation of the classic nursery rhyme by the talented British artist, Phyllis Cooper. Created in 1930, this painting is a stunning example of the Art Deco style that defined the 1930s. The scene depicts Jack Sprat, a plump man, and his wife, who is remarkably thin, standing side by side in their kitchen. Jack Sprat, with a satisfied smile, holds a large plate piled high with meat, while his wife, with a disapproving look, holds a thin plate with a single piece of fruit. The couple's contrasting figures highlight the humorous theme of the rhyme. Phyllis Cooper's use of bold, geometric shapes and vibrant colors is characteristic of the Art Deco style. The background is adorned with intricate patterns and abstract shapes, adding depth and visual interest to the composition. The overall effect is a lively and engaging representation of the popular nursery rhyme. Cooper's artistic talent and the timeless appeal of the nursery rhyme have made this painting a cherished piece of art and a fascinating glimpse into the past. This postcard-sized print is a must-have for collectors of vintage art, nursery rhyme enthusiasts, and anyone who appreciates the beauty and charm of the Art Deco era.
