Paula Rego is an artist of astonishing power with a unique and
unforgettable aesthetic. Taking its cues from the artist, this
fascinating study invites us to reflect on the complexities of
storytelling on which Rego's work draws, emphasizing both the
stories the pictures tell, and how it is that they are told. Deryn
Rees-Jones sets interpretations of the pictures in the context of
Rego's personal and artistic development across sixty years. We see
how Rego's art intersects with the work of both the literary and
the visual, and come to understand her rich and textured layering
of reference: her use of the Old Masters; fiction, fairy tales and
poems; the folk traditions of Rego's native Portugal; and her wider
engagement with politics, feminism and more. The result is a highly
original work that addresses urgent and topical questions of
gender, subject and object, self and other.
