Paula Rego, Marina Warner / JANE EYRE Signed 1st Edition 2003

Description: A Modern Gothic Jane EyreJANE EYREBy Paula Rego, introduction by Marina Warner(2003)Signed limited edition of Rego's intense and brutal suite of lithographs in dialogue with Brontë's JANE EYRE.About fine."Charlotte Brontë and Paula Rego share an imaginative ardour that abolishes the veil between what takes place in fact or in fantasy." - Marina Warner Rego's JANE EYRE series is narrower in emotional range than its source inspiration, but fully its equal in depth. Her lithographs thrash with the furious, tortured physicality of women weighed down by pain and humiliation and confinement, the element of fire nearly smothered in wet wool and cold earth. The Portuguese-born artist reported reading JANE EYRE for the first time as an adult, and no childhood nostalgia tempers her vision. Jane Eyre herself appears as she is, not as she seems: a massive presence, rather than the fey fairy elf of Rochester's pick-up lines or the meek mouse of conventional illustration. "I don't believe in the existence of little mice," Rego affirmed to The Observer in 2002. "Every mouse has intestines and teeth and they are terrifying, those little mice. Jane Eyre is actually a bit of a rat."Read more: Bury, "Creative (mis)reading? Paul Rego's Jane Eyre;" Kelloway, "Rego Meets Mr. Rochester," The Observer.
