Paula Rego, Nanny, Small Bears and Bogeyman, 1982, acrylic on paper.
Rego often works on paper and in series. Most of her work involves storytelling. This work recalls memories of the artist’s childhood in Portugal, with animals taking on human characteristics. The story referred to in the title was told to the artist by a friend and is based on a passage in Elias Canetti’s autobiography. The author relates a scary childhood reminiscence in which his nanny’s boyfriend threatens to cut out his tongue. Rego has painted the small bear tied to the nanny. She said ‘the one who is most wicked is not the bogeyman but the nanny who has strapped him up. She is so possessive and horribly evil that while I was painting the front bear another little bear appeared behind it.’

Jorge Afonso | Jesus visiting Maria
The Madre de Deus church, Lisbon, Portugal, 1515
Jorge Afonso was nominated royal painter in 1508 by King Manuel I and again in 1529 by John III. He was mainly based in Lisbon, with a workshop near the Church of São Domingos. The main painted altarpieces attributed to Jorge Afonso were commissioned by the old Queen Leonor, widow of King John II and sister of Manuel I. For the former Queen, Jorge Afonso painted the main altarpiece of the Convent of Madre de Deus, in Lisbon, in 1515. This magnificent altarpiece is now in the National Museum of Ancient Art, in Lisbon. (x)
