Dame Paula Rego Cause of Death

Rego was productive and gained recognition throughout the 1960s and ’70s. During the 1980s, however, her work was injected with a new urgency. This was the decade in which the iconic contours of Rego’s work emerged with force. Cartoon-like works on paper from the early 1980s – featuring the characters of a bear, a red monkey and a rabbit – introduce the motifs of cruelty, jealousy and humiliation. Rego’s most enduring theme is women alone, dealing with their lot.’⁠

Friends, colleagues, officials and veterans are sending their condolences and tributes to the family in respect of her death. She will greatly be missed by everyone.
