Rosengarten explores the narrative operations of Rego's work by
mobilising both psychoanalytic theory and social history. She
confronts, as case studies, three complex figure paintings from
different moments in Rego's oeuvre: The Policeman's Daughter
(1987), The Interrogator's Garden (2000), and The First Mass in
Brazil (1993). The content of the three specimen paintings links
them to the political context of the Estado Novo, the
fascist-inspired regime that dominated Rego's childhood. Plotting
links between the spheres of the political and the personal,
Rosengarten throws light on the complex intertwining of state power
and parental authority in Rego's work, focusing on the "labour of
socialisation and resistance" that Rego's work evinces in relation
to the Freudian model of the family romance. Rosengarten unveils
the political context of Portugal under Salazar, and the workings
of colonial fantasy, Catholic ideology and gender construction. In
prodding the inalienable link between love and authority, this
study offers a reading of Rego's work that interrogates, rather
than subverts, the Oedipal model structuring the patriarchal
family. -- .
