The extraordinary artist Paula Rego was often described as a storyteller. Discussing her use of novels, poems, plays and history books as an inspiration and starting point for her printmaking and painting, she said 'like you put on a coat, and then to stand the cold'. Join a panel of writers, artists and academics to explore the immense importance of literature in Rego’s life and work, and the impact of her work on generations of writers.

Our speakers include RSL Fellow Anthony Rudolf, who was Rego’s companion and principal male model for twenty six years until she died in 2022, poet Helen Quah, and Julie Held and Susan Wilson from the faculty of the Royal Drawing School – our partners for this event.

Join us at the Royal Drawing School for an evening in memory, and celebration, of a remarkable artist.
