The stories and folklore that populate the British imaginary are revitalized in the printmaking practice of Paula Rego

This beautiful hardcover showcases the remarkable printmaking practice of British artist Paula Rego (1935-2022), whose radical art drew inspiration from a vast range of sources--from traditional folklore and fairy tales, to literary classics and nursery rhymes. For Rego, these sources conveyed essential truths about the world. She connected with these literary works in deeply personal ways, using them to articulate the conditions of her own life as well as work through her own dreams, anxieties, desires and fears. Here, three of the artist's most ambitious series of graphic works--Jane Eyre, Nursery Rhymes and Peter Pan--are explored in essays by Marco Livingstone, Rosanna McLaughlin and Marina Warner. They offer an insight into how the artist transformed this material into startlingly original, rebellious and unexpected images.
