Paula Rego Exhibition in Rugby

The exhibition Paula Rego: Visions of Literature (containing the Jane Eyre suite of lithographs) comes to Rugby:

Paula Rego - Visions of English Literature

26 September - 21 November

Rugby Art Gallery and Museum, Little Elborow Street, Rugby, CV21 3BZ

Explore the extraordinary imagination of one of the great artists, printmakers and storytellers of our time. Paula Rego: Visions of English Literature will present three of the artist’s most ambitious series of graphic works; Jane Eyre, Nursery Rhymes and Peter Pan. Each series will be accompanied by a variety of personal items from the artist, many of which have never been publicly displayed before. Unseen preparatory sketches, etching plates and Rego’s very own childhood copy of Peter Pan will offer audiences an intimate portrayal of the artist’s lifelong fascination with literature and an insight into how the artist transformed this material into startlingly original, rebellious and unexpected images.
