Paula Rego 1935 - 2022
Paula Rego (1935-2022) was a Portuguese artist known for her figurative work that often explored themes of gender, power, and violence. She studied at the Slade School of Fine Art and was an exhibiting member of The London Group, along with David Hockney and Frank Auerbach. Rego's work was deeply influenced by her personal experiences and political beliefs, and she often drew inspiration from literature and mythology. Rego was the first living female artist to have a retrospective at the Tate Gallery in London in 1997, cementing her place as a significant figure in the art world.
