Rosengarten explores the narrative operations of Rego’s work by mobilising both psychoanalytic theory and social history. She confronts, as case studies, three complex figure paintings from different moments in Rego’s oeuvre: The Policeman’s Daughter (1987), The Interrogator’s Garden (2000), and The First Mass in Brazil (1993). The content of the three specimen paintings links them to the political context of the Estado Novo, the fascist-inspired regime that dominated Rego’s childhood. Plotting links between the spheres of the political and the personal, Rosengarten throws light on the complex intertwining of state power and parental authority in Rego’s work, focusing on the “labour of socialisation and resistance” that Rego’s work evinces in relation to the Freudian model of the family romance.Rosengarten unveils the political context of Portugal under Salazar, and the workings of colonial fantasy, Catholic ideology and gender construction. In prodding the inalienable link between love and authority, this study offers a reading of Rego’s work that interrogates, rather than subverts, the Oedipal model structuring the patriarchal family.

Key figure in contemporary painting Throughout her career, Paula Rego has relentlessly exposed social grievances through her art. The Portuguese- born artist, who made London her adopted home, is therefore one of the most important painters of our time. Her works are more topical than ever. They are dedicated to highly emotional themes such as political and sexualized violence, physical self-determination, and mental health, always with a focus on women's rights. With more than 120 works from seven decades, this catalogue from the Museum Folkwang explores the tension between the supposedly private and the political in Rego's oeuvre–starting with her paintings from the 1950s, which criticize the dictatorship in her home country at the time, through to her famous Abortion series, the artist's personal contribution to the discourse on the legalization of abortion. This book shows that the questions posed by Paula Rego have not lost their urgency.
