An Enduring Journey: Paula Rego at Cristea Roberts

20/09/2021

Photo by Caroline Banks

More Paula Rego, this time with the focus on prints, as seen in this recent exhibition.

Cristea Roberts have a longstanding relationship with the artist and An Enduring Journey gives a career overview so far.

Prints (etching, aquatint and lithography) as well as drawings show Rego’s ongoing fascination with storytelling, whether it be fairy tales, classic literature or current events.

It was interesting to see the development of imagery currently at the Tate Britain retrospective including Mr Pillowman below.

I enjoyed this etching of A Crow and His Cat in a reversal of the usual power dynamic.

Children and their stories.

This drawing of the young Bertha from Jane Eyre (or should I say the Wide Sargasso Sea) was new to me.

She doesn’t shy away from horror and pathos in her images of abortion and female genital mutilation.

NB. These photos avoid glare and reflection as much as possible but, to see images perfectly I’d recommend visiting the Paula Rego page on Cristea Roberts‘ site.
