Pearl moved to London from Jamaica in her twenties.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/outsider-art/outsider-art-exhibition-guide-biographies )〕 First finding work as a maid by the 1970s she had opened a dress shop on Railton Road in Brixton and later ran a cafe and an illegal shebeen, popular with the local gay community, on the same street. Following the 1985 Brixton Uprising both her shop and bar had failed and she found herself on the dole and unable to afford a birthday card for a friend so she drew one.〔 Monika Kinley, one of the country's leading advocates of Outsider Art, describes her as 'a visual poet'. In 2005 her work was included in Tate Britain's first exhibition of art shown under the term Outsider Art. ==Selected exhibitions== *2005: Outsider Art, Tate Britain, London 〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tate.org.uk/whats-on/tate-britain/exhibition/outsider-art )〕 *1989: Three Brixton Artists: Pearl Alcock, George Kelly, Michael Ross, 198 Gallery, London 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pearl Alcock」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
