Reviews
I had only heard about Paula Rego from a professor from my college and he suggested that I look to her for inspiration for my art work. I was smitten by her work so I decided to get this particular book about her and was very happy I did. I didn't expect for the book to be as heavy as it was, but it was worth it; with the biography and the pictures of her works and some of her life, this book was very helpful and informative.
