Paula Rego童谣,保拉·雷戈大胆、独特的绘画风格不仅为她赢得了越来越高的批评声誉,还赢得了不同寻常的大批热情追随者。她身上带着丝带的小女孩女主人公和童话人物似乎深深扎根于童年时代,然而这门4的纯真却被贯穿于她作品中的权力、支配和反叛、性和性别等潜在主题所掩盖。在这里,雷戈将童谣作为她的意象来源。这是一种与她的4完美互补的体裁;充满了双重含义,押韵是从孩子的角度写的,但成人可以解释。精装尺寸20*26cm,70页 The bold, distinctive style of Paula Rego’s paintings has acquired for her not only an ever-increasing critical reputation but also an unusually large and enthusiastic following. Her be-ribboned little-girl heroines and fairy-tale characters seem firmly rooted in childhood, yet the innocence of this art is darkened by the underlying themes of power, domination and rebellion, sexuality and gender, that run through her work. Here Rego has turned to the nursery rhyme as a source for her imagery. It is a genre that perfectly complements her art; full of double meanings, rhymes are written from a child’s perspective but are open to adult interpretation. Twenty-six well-known nursery rhymes are accompanied by a series of etchings which she has executed spontaneously as a child might, drawing directly on the plate without preparatory planning. Following the traditions of earlier artists such as Beatrix Potter, she treats the fantastic realistically, dressing animals in human costume and using dream-like dislocations of scale. These are wonderfully comic and rich illustrations with a hint of the sinister, that turn classic nursery rhymes into colourful stories about folly and delusion, cruelty, convention and sex.
