Paula Rego Retrospective Announced At Tate For Summer
/
/
This Summer sees Tate Britain open the largest and most comprehensive retrospective of the work of Paula Rego. Born in Portugal in 1935 during the authoritarian dictatorship of António de Oliveira Salazar to anti-fascist parents, her work is highly personal and politicised. Rego is an uncompromising artist of extraordinary imaginative power who redefined figurative art and revolutionised how women are represented. The exhibition will feature over 100 works, including collage, paintings, large-scale pastels, drawings and etchings. It will span Rego’s early work from the 1950s to her richly layered, staged scenes in the 2000s.
