Description for Love and authority in the work of Paula Rego: Narrating the family romance
Hardback. Born in Portugal and long resident in England, Paula Rego repeatedly returns to her native country in the iconography of her paintings. Steering away from the well-trodden territory of biographical or national concerns, this title explores the narrative operations of Rego's work by mobilising both psychoanalytic theory and social history. Num Pages: 224 pages, 30 black & white illustrations, 12 colour illustrations. BIC Classification: ACXJ; AGB. Category: (UF) Further/Higher Education. Dimension: 240 x 176 x 22. Weight in Grams: 778.
Rosengarten explores the narrative operations of Rego's work by mobilising 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 ... Read more
