Paula Rego and Portugal - Talk by Prof. Ana Gabriela Macedo
About
One of the features of Paula Rego’s work that most fascinates me, is its deliberate exposure of networks, cross-references and, in her own words, ‘interweavings’. With some distance now, I understand that my passion for this trace in Rego’s art is also a reflection of my own personality and trajectory, as largely one’s critical endeavour and biography are, if not mirror images, impossible to tell apart from each other. Thus, I dare to follow some of my own interweavings in this paper, as I pursue Paula’s. Moreover, in the process of the research I developed over the years on Rego’s work and its ‘interweaving’ with other art forms, namely the pervasive link with literature, I believe it is yet to be designed the full mapping of her affinities, both aesthetic and emotional, with the Portuguese artists, painters and writers, and largely with the Portuguese culture, history and politics which she so adamantly inscribes in her art. I will try to interrelate both topics in my talk.Location
