This title was first published in 2003. The artist Paula Rego was
born in Portugal but has lived in Britain since 1951. In this
well-illustrated book, Maria Manuel Lisboa explores the background
behind Rego's decision to leave the land of her birth and, in doing
so, provides fascinating insights into Rego's persistent portrayal
of uneasy and predatory relations between men and women. Looking
back over the national, religious and sexual politics of Portugal
during Rego's childhood under the shadow of the Salazar
dictatorship and subsequently, Lisboa locates the origins of the
artist's preoccupation with power and powerlessness, violence and
abuse within the political and ideological status quo of Portugal,
past and present. Lisboa's clear and thoughtful analysis offers an
ambitious contribution to the study of patriarchy, Catholicism and
Fascism and their expression in the work of this artist.
