Paula Rego: Visions of English Literature

Paula Rego, Sing a Song of Sixpence (The Queen in the Parlour), 1989.

Sept 21, 2024 – Jan 1, 2025
Djanogly Art Gallery, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD, United Kingdom

This exhibition in Nottingham casts a spotlight on Paula Rego’s remarkable practice as a graphic artist, and pays particular attention to the British literary influences that have inspired her most ambitious works in printmaking—nursery rhymes, the character of Peter Pan, and the novel Jane Eyre. Showcasing each series of prints along with preparatory sketches, etching plates, and other ephemera, the exhibition offers insight into how Rego transforms such classic material into startlingly original and unexpected images. —Elena Clavarino
