PAULA REGO (1935–2022)
Rego’s fiercely narrative paintings and pastels blend Portuguese folklore, feminism, and psychological drama. Her subversive reimaginings of fairy tales and domestic scenes confront power, gender, and trauma. Her work resides in the Tate Britain, Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, and the Paula Rego House of Stories."I make work for people to see, to feel something. Not to be told what to think."
