Reviews
'Lisboa enriches our response to Rego's art by restoring its historical and political context. Rego's play on cruelty and power has been remarked on before, but Lisboa uncovers deeper layers of resonance.' Frances Spalding, TLS 'This valuable addition to the literature on the contemporary Portuguese artist Paula Rego is particularly useful since it places her work in a specifically Portuguese context, one which has not been adequately explored by other studies of her work in English... a vigorous new analysis of this important contemporary artist which should be useful both to scholars of Portuguese culture and society and to those more interested in Rego from a purely painterly perspective.' David Frier, Bulletin of Spanish Studies '... this magnificent guided tour.' The Contemporary Review
