An excellent book about one of the finest & most challenging painters of our time. Paula Rego has produced some very unsettling images with enormous artistic skill. It is difficult to do justice to the complex psychological treatment of her subjects (often nursery rhymes) but the author, John McEwen, does a great job.

I had only heard about Paula Rego from a professor from my college and he suggested that I look to her for inspiration for my art work. I was smitten by her work so I decided to get this particular book about her and was very happy I did. I didn't expect for the book to be as heavy as it was, but it was worth it; with the biography and the pictures of her works and some of her life, this book was very helpful and informative.

I had seen Paula Rego's work in a lot of museums and so on an impulse bought this book sight unseen. This book gives a complete overview of her work..it was interesting, but I found that my interest in Rego the artist has diminished after reading the book.

excellent product. took a bit longer to arrive but when it did it was in excellent condition.

If you like good art, especially by women this one is excellent!! More than everything you needed to know about this fascinating artist.
