{"product_id":"83088-paula-rego","title":"Paula Rego","description":"Throughout her career, Paula Rego relentlessly used her art to expose social injustices. The Portuguese-born artist, who made London her adopted home, is thus 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 sexual violence, bodily autonomy, and mental health, always with an eye on women's rights. With over 120 works spanning seven decades, the Museum Folkwang explores the tension between the seemingly private and the political in Rego's oeuvre, from her 1950s paintings, which criticized the dictatorship in her homeland at the time, to her famous Abortion series, the artist's personal contribution to the discourse on the legalization of abortion. 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 design 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":51245463470344,"sku":"9783775760959","price":36.97,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775760959_4a9cc6d2-6fd9-4b65-859a-577b7d002aae.jpg?v=1749801930","url":"https:\/\/hatjecantz.com\/products\/83088-paula-rego","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
