	About Paula Rego and her art
		Rego's economy of colour is further beautifully illustrated in Mermaid drowning Wendy where fl becomes the colour of the sea at night and the faintest cold blue tint of Wendy's nightdress adds to the pathos of the overall scene.
		Rego is always a political artist insofar as she seeks to challenge the status quo, and overturn existing hierarchies but in the Abortion series, one can sense the anger and A voice demanding to be heard.
		Paula as a storyteller needs an audience and printmaking provides her with a means for distributing her ideas throughout the world, and making her vision accessible to a wider audience.

	Paula Rego
		When artist Paula Rego was growing up in Lisbon in the 1940s, her grandparents and great-aunt would spin vivid stories rooted in Portugal's folklore tradition, thrilling and terrifying her with their embellished tales.

		Rego’s mother and her granddaughter are given parts in the story of the pillowman – a fl, stuffed monster who leads people to suicide.

	Maria João Cantinho: Paula Rego
		Paula Rego deixou-se fascinar pelo automatismo surrealista e privilegiou a arte produzida a partir da imaginação não dirigida, permitindo um jogo mais livre das faculdades e rompendo com o habitual determinismo que se apresenta na relação entre o pensamento e o gesto.
		Paula Rego põe em jogo uma série de elementos iconográficos que interagem entre si e originam uma sequência de acontecimentos narrativos e simbólicos, portadores de ideias como o amor, a confiança, o medo e a dominação.
		Paula Rego pinta crianças que lutam com os pais para alcançarem a sua identidade própria, constituindo a sua fragilidade e simultânea ferocidade um reconhecimento das pulsões edipianas e inconscientes, que aparecem sob a forma de figuras humanas e animais, simbolizando os conflitos de ordem sexual.

		Paula Rego paints a world of dark fairy tale where childhood stories are thin guises for psycho-sexual intrigue and taboo, where magical realism rules, where nothing is certain except the witchy powers of feminism, and the underlying notion that nothing is as it seems.
		The picture uses the story of Celestina to explore the ages of women, although as Paula Rego wryly comments, if there are seven ages of woman as of man, then her Celestina has already lived through at least thirteen.
		Rego illustrates the conflict of reality encroaching on the socially imposed myths of female worth, construing aging as both a physical and psychological violation.

		Paula Figueiroa Rego was born in 1935 in Lisbon.

		Rego began to use whole stories in this way, allowing meanings and relationships to slip and dissolve so her imagery is never a direct illustration of a story or event but an allusion or metaphor.
		For Rego, this sustaining partnership was threatened by illness and death, calling forth the realm of the archaic mother, an instability that threatens to dissolve all certainty.
		Rego's image reverses this metaphor, staging an insurrection in her art that was perhaps impossible in her life.

	YCBA - Paula Rego
		A consummate storyteller, Rego draws inspiration for her subversive and complex narratives of human behavior from books, films, folk legends, and fairytales, as well as memories of her own childhood and the history of art.
		Above all, Paula Rego addresses the experiences of women and their relationships with others, exploring themes of love and cruelty, desire and disgust, rebellion and domination.
		Rego does not regard herself as a painter per se, and is more interested in "drawing things." For the past seven years she has been producing ambitious large-scale works using pastel, a medium which she prefers to oil paint.

	Paula Rego
		Paula Rego is in this tradition, giving full rein to her imagination in both etching and lithography, and in using the media with exuberance to create work that is as disturbing, erotic, and powerful as her paintings.
		Many of her prints are based on themes; as she says, one image triggers the idea for the next, Among these are Rego's Nursery Rhymes, which reveal a darkly humorous take on the difficulties of childhood and provide a rich seam for her precocious girls and individually characterized animals.

		The Children's Crusade by Paula Rego is the third exhibition at Charles Nodrum Gallery of this well-known international artist.
		Rego considers her etchings an integral part of her oeuvre, bridging the gap between the more relaxed and private activity of pencil drawing and the elaborate public address of her pastel paintings.
		Rego's vision, however, is one of resistance and an affirmation of the freedom of choice, a mark of her feminine authority and insight.

	COVER STORY: The pain of Paula Rego Independent, The (London) - Find Articles
		In 1988, in an article on Rego for the magazine Modern Painters, Germaine Greer wrote: "It is not often given to women to recognise themselves in painting, still less to see their private world, their dreams, the insides of their heads, projected on such a scale and so immodestly, with such depth and colour.
		Rego, the only daughter of Jose Fernandes and Maria de S. Jose Avanti Quaresma Paiva Figueiroa Rego, was born in 1935, in Lisbon, Portugal.
		As an only child, Paula spent a lot of time alone, drawing - her mother recalls that this was always accompanied by a tuneless humming sound.

		Rego's latest paintings speak of maternal loss and hope, of wisdom won with age, of private dreams projected onto an uncaring external world.

	Paola Rego
		Paula Rego began painting as a young girl at home in Lisbon.
		With their imaginative and often subversive content, those images set in claustrophobic interior spaces often with harsh shadows, are a reminder of the work of a number of Surrealist artists including Giorgio de Chirico and Dorothea Tanning and Max Ernst.
		Many critics as well as Rego herself have referred to the theatrical nature of her paintings, as if her subjects were characters in a play, acting out scenes in the spaces she paints for them.

	Tate Magazine Issue 8: Paula Rego
		In Paula Rego's work, in her 'artist's dreamland', the peculiar and the elfish twist and turn with a similar rebellious vitality.
		Rego has explored, in a myriad different sequences of pictures, the conditions of her own upbringing in Portugal, her formation as a girl and a woman, and the oscillation between stifling social expectations and liberating female stratagems.
		These comments on cognitive capacity offer a context for thinking about Rego and about the distinctive principles of book illustration, for what she achieves is precisely that solidity, that density of presence, that stable durability that usually elude the mind's eye of the reader.

		Stepping into Paula Rego's cavernous studio, a former stretcher factory in a north London back street, is like entering the setting of a peculiarly vivid dream.
		Both creatures are destined to appear in Rego's work; slumped in a chair in the corner is a disturbing figure who has already had his time in the spotlight.
		It is rare for Rego to discuss the meanings behind her fantastical, richly layered images - "I can't explain my pictures," she says sharply later.
