Paula Rego, who has died aged 87, was the uncompromising artist who helped to change the way in which women were represented in painting, printmaking and sculpture.
“The way Rego approaches the exploration of women has nothing to do with a performance or a stereotypical form for the male gaze. This is women for themselves. The exploration of their sexual desires, the range of temperaments, the secrets behind them, some more sinister, and murderous, than others,” noted the critic Mariana Holguin.
