 List Price: Price: $24.85 You Save: $15.10 (38%) DescriptionThe monumentality and psychological drama of Paula Rego's paintings have established her as one of the most important figurative painters of her generation. Her first retrospective exhibition in London in 1988 brought together a range of her dramatically simplified paintings of the ambiguous relations of men, women and children. The third edition adds to the revised second edition by providing illustrations of her striking "Abortion" series and "The Crime of Father Amaro" series.

In 1994 Paula Rego moved to her own studio in Camden, North London. The space and freedom that this move allowed her had a dramatic effect on the way she works, changing her preparations, models, method, and technique. This new title features many never-before-seen personal photographs of Rego at work, and sheds new light on some of her best-known pieces.

Love and Authority in the Work of Paula Rego: Narrating the Family Romance
 List Price: Price: $85.73 You Save: $4.22 (5%) DescriptionRosengarten explores the narrative operations of Rego’s work by mobilizing 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.
Paula Rego's Map of Memory: National and Sexual Politics
 List Price: Price: $100.33 You Save: $29.67 (23%) DescriptionThe artist Paula Rego was born in Portugal but has lived in Britain since 1951. In this book, Maria Manuel Lisboa explores the background behind Rego's decision to leave the land of her birth and, in doing so, provides 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 and its expression in the work of this artist.Rego Paula News
