Paula Rego: Behind the Scenes offers the reader a unique opportunity to observe the studio life and working practice of one of the most important figurative artists working today. In 1994 Paula Rego moved to her own studio in Camden, North London. The space and freedom that this move allowed her had a dramatic effect on the way she works, changing her preparations, models, method, and technique. This new title features many never-before-seen personal photographs of Rego at work, and sheds new light on some of her best-known pieces.

A poignant and insightful exploration of the studio practice and image-making processes of Paula Rego...
