Paula Rego
Fondation Calouste Gulbenkian, Paris
A collection of works created between 1988 and 2010. Paintings, drawings and prints
The Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation, in partnership with the Paula Rego Foundation/Casa des Historias, presents for the first time in Paris a representative exhibition of the highly renowned British artist, born in Lisbon in 1935. Bringing together a collection of works created between 1988 and 2010, a period representing the artist's total maturity, the exhibition, which is in no way a retrospective, centres - and concentrates - on a selection of the thematic series which have the most contributed to international recognition of her strength and originality. With a selection of paintings, drawings and prints, as part of a narrative which intertwines with other artistic disciplines like literature, cinema or drama, and the multiplicity of her resources, both scholarly and popular, Paula Rego appears as a figurative artist who masters both the technical tools and the aesthetic resources of the old masters, developing an artistic language which speaks to our time, disrupting or provoking it, questioning and altering the spectator.
