Paula Rego An Enduring Journey: A Life in Print

"Whenever I got stuck or didn’t know what to do, I would make a print. The process would free up my mind and let me just work without making art. Often that’s when you do your best things."

Over the course of her career Paula Rego produced a profound and ground-breaking body of prints, illustrating a world shaped by patriarchal power. Drawing upon the artist’s archive, this hard-back publication explores the extraordinary imaginative power of Rego’s graphic works, and her experimentation with the medium which began in the 1950s.

Produced a year before Rego’s death, An Enduring Journey, includes newly editioned prints from plates drawn by the artist up to thirty years ago that have remained unseen and set aside until now.

Through her use of printmaking Rego made some of the most important and complex graphic works of the past fifty years. Discover how the medium has enabled her ideas and stories to reach wide audiences.
