Focusing primarily on Rego's work since the 1980s, Lisboa explores the complex relationships between violence and nurturing, power and impotence, politics and the family that run through Rego's art. Taking a historicist approach to the evolution of the artist's work, Lisboa embeds the works within Rego's personal history as well as Portugal's (and indeed other nations') stories, and reveals the interrelationship between political significance and the raw emotion that lies at the heart of Rego's uncompromising iconographic style. Fundamental to Lisboa's analysis is an understanding that apparent opposites - male and female, sacred and profane, aggression and submissiveness - often co-exist in Rego's work in a way that is both disturbing and destabilising. This collection of essays brings together both unpublished and previously published work to make a significant contribution to scholarship about Paula Rego. It will also be of interest to scholars and students of contemporary painting, Portuguese and British feminist art, and the political and ideological aspects of the visual arts. 517 $aEssays on Paula Rego 606 $aFeminism in art 615 0$aFeminism in art. 676 $a700.103 700 $aLisboa$b Maria Manuel$f1963-$0801196 801 0$bNjHacI 801 1$bNjHacl 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910477092803321 996 $aEssays on Paula Rego$92022709 997 $aUNINA
