Product Information
Many of the greatest artists since Durer and Rembrandt have used the print medium to explore some of their most important ideas. Paula Rego is in this tradition, giving full rein to her imagination in both etching and lithography, and using the media with exuberance to create work that is as disturbing, erotic and powerful as her paintings. This sumptuously produced book, now expanded and updated and featuring reproductions in tritone and colour, is the first monograph to deal exclusively with Rego's graphic work. It discusses and illustrates all her prints, including unpublished work - over 200 etchings and lithographs spanning half a century from 1954 to 2003. Many of Rego's prints are based on themes, as she says that 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 narrative layers and emotional nuances of her work are vividly shown in her Peter Pan series of 1992, and also in Pendle Witches 1996, for which she collaborated closely with the poet and writer Blake Morrison, who in turn was inspired by her 1996-98 series The Children's Crusade. The book concludes with her most recent portfolio of lithographs, based more or loosely on Jane Eyre. T.G. Rosenthal, a long-time supporter of Rego's work, discusses the background to each series, and comments on each print. He also quotes extensively from his and others' conversations with the artist, underlining Rego's subversive humour and her strongly feminist outlook. A fully illustrated catalogue raisonne by Hannah Begbie, a description of Rego's etching techniques by the artist and printmaker Paul Coldwell, a list of exhibitions, a chronology and a bibliography make this a unique source of information on a major aspect of this leading artist's work.Product Identifiers

A beautiful and authoratative book
A must for anyone who enjoys Paula Rego's graphic works. History, background and detailed, authoratative information relating to her graphic pieces, with excellent illustrations throughout and thumbnail catalogue raisonné at the back of the book. Lovely to leaf through - even if you're not looking for something specific.Verified purchase: YesCondition: New
