Synopsis
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.

Untorn dust jacket shows gentle shelfwear. -- This is a scholarly analysis of the works of Portuguese-born artist Paula Rego. The book explores how Rego's art is rooted in the political and ideological climate of Portugal, particularly the influence of the Salazar dictatorship, Catholicism, and patriarchy on her portrayal of human relations. Lisboa argues that Rego's work is a persistent exploration of power and powerlessness, violence, and abuse. These themes are traced back to the artist's childhood under the fascist "New State" (Estado Novo). The book also provides insights into Rego's frequent depictions of "uneasy and predatory" relations between men and women. Lisboa analyzes how gender violence in Rego's work often serves as a metaphor for the dictatorial state. A significant part of the analysis focuses on the role of women in Rego's paintings, often depicted as strong but potentially violent "mother-executioners" who act as complicit agents of a repressive social order. The book has been praised for restoring the historical and political context to Rego's art, uncovering layers of resonance that go beyond purely painterly perspectives. It is considered a major contribution to the study of contemporary Portuguese and British feminist art. Seller Inventory # 012748
