About Me |
|
| Shrugging off suggestions that her particular brand of off-kilter realism could be traced to Balthus, Goya or Picasso, Rego insists, "Everything comes from Disney - and Tiepolo as well, Giandomenico Tiepolo, the son."in Express/The Washington Post , 14/2/2008 Snow White Swallows the Poisoned Apple, 1995 SEE LARGER AT The Saatchi Gallery ____________________________________ El PaÃs - Cuando se comenta su trabajo se le suele relacionar con el de artistas tan diversos como De Chirico, Arshille Gorky, Balthus, Chagall. ¿ Qué opina de ellos? Paula Rego - Yo siempre he admirado mucho a Daumier, James Ensor y Goya. También me ha interesado Gorky durante una época. Chagall me interesa menos porque a veces lo encuentro demasiado sentimental. Me gustan los artistas satÃricos, como el portugués Bordalo Pinheiro. (…) El PaÃs - Sus personajes suelen ser inquietantes, con un lado oscuro. ¿De dónde provienen esas ideas o historias? Paula Rego - Normalmente vienen de historias que he leÃdo. Como Jane Eyre, de Charlotte Brontë; El crimen del padre Amaro, de Eça de Queirós; Nada, de Carmen Laforet. Un libro precioso. A veces leo obras que me inspiran, pero mis pinturas no son ilustraciones. Son una interpretación de lo que me hacen sentir.El PaÃs - Los grandes pintores españoles han tenido también un eco en su obra: Goya, Velázquez, Miró, hasta DalÃ. A usted se le ha llegado a calificar como surrealista. ¿Qué piensa de eso? Paula Rego - Yo he crecido con la pintura española. Y quizá el que más me interesa es Gutiérrez Solana. He hecho un cuadro en homenaje a él, siempre me gustó. Es una lástima que no se le conozca mucho fuera de España. Y en su lista no ha mencionado a Picasso. He vivido con reproducciones de sus obras en las paredes de mi estudio toda la vida. Además, creo que el Prado es el mejor museo del mundo. Cuando voy me siento como en casa. Adoro ir a ver los cuadros de Zurbarán, Ribera, Velázquez, Goya. Pero, sobre todo, los santos de Ribera. Es un pintor extraordinario. Y El Greco, que es tan camp y estático. Me encanta. Ir al Prado es lo mejor del mundo para mÃ. (…)in Entrevista a El PaÃs: Arte y Feminismo, 22/9/2007 | |

In these pictures every woman's a dog woman, not downtrodden, but powerful. To be bestial is good. It's physical. Eating, snarling, all activities to do with sensation are positive. To picture a woman as a dog is utterly believable." (Paula Rego) | |
I'd like to meet:The Wide Sargasso Sea, 2000"She has always been an ardent champion of women. (…)In Jane Eyre, she has a perfect subject: obedience containing rebellion. (…)Just as Jean Rhys extracted Wide Sargasso Sea from Jane Eyre (a novel which Rego greatly admires; she even borrowed the title for a painting, a crowd scene on an evening terrace), so she has responded in her own way. In particular, she has disinterred its buried sexuality, made repression flower." - in Observer , Interview by Kate Kellaway, 2002 Metamorphosis After Kafka, 2002 |
