{"product_id":"83087-paula-rego","title":"Paula Rego","description":"Throughout her career, Paula Rego ruthlessly exposed social ills with her art. The Portuguese-born artist, who made London her adopted home, is therefore one of the most important painters of our time. Her paintings are more relevant than ever. They address highly emotional topics such as political and sexualized violence, bodily autonomy, and mental health, always with a view to women's rights. Through more than 120 works spanning seven decades, Museum Folkwang explores the tension between the supposedly private and the political in Rego's oeuvre, from Rego's paintings of the 1950s, which criticize the dictatorship in her home country at the time, to her famous Abortion Series, the artist's personal contribution to the discourse on the legalization of abortions. The exhibition and accompanying catalog aim to show that the questions Paula Rego posed have not lost their urgency. The resistance inherent in her art is elevated to a guiding principle.\n\nThe Portuguese-British artist Paula Rego (1935 Lisbon–2022 London) is one of the most important figurative painters of recent decades.","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51245462225160,"sku":"9783775760966","price":36.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775760966_d5644a57-8019-4bb7-9131-f9ec639f9991.jpg?v=1749801937","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/83087-paula-rego","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
