A Graphic Conversation: Paula Rego & Marco Livingstone
Event location: Royal Academy of Arts. Ongoing event.
 Paula Rego, one of the leading figurative painters of our time and author and art historian, Marco Livingstone, discuss her new series of etchings.
Venue: The Reynolds Room, Royal Academy Of Arts, London
Date: Wednesday 22nd April 2009
Time: 7pm
Paula Rego's new works, based on the controversial subject of female circumcision, will be launched by Marlborough Graphics at the London Original Print Fair 09.
Rego established an early reputation with her surreal collages, later populated with subversive cartoon-like animals. In 1988, a retrospective at the Serpentine Gallery in London confirmed her international reputation. A powerful original female voice, she is now one of Europe's most sought after artists. A painter of 'stories', her characters enact a variety of roles and depict disquieting tensions below the surface.
The Paula Rego museum, designed by architect Souto de Moura, is planned to open this September in Cascais, Portugal. Rego will be donating to the appropriately named building, House of Stories, a complete set of her prints together with her collection of paintings and drawings by Victor Willing.
Marco Livingstone has written about Paula Rego's work on a number of occasions and was the curator of her comprehensive 2007 retrospective at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.
His monograph on Peter Blake, 'Peter Blake: one man show', will be published by Lund Humphries in May, and is currently writing a book on the painter Peter Kinley.
