Remembering Paula Rego 💙 and taking a closer look at her much loved painting, The Dance, with our Paintings Conservator Camille Polkownick and Rego's son, Nick Willing. | Tate

Born in Portugal, a country which her father told her was no good for women, Paula Rego used her powerful art as a weapon against the dictatorship before settling in London, where she continued to target women's issues such as abortion rights. Her paintings are a cryptic glimpse into an intimate world of personal tragedy, perverse fantasies and awkward truths that resonate across borders and into today’s public discourse.

Paula Rego revolutionised the way in which women are represented in art, using her work to expose and fight injustice. Her painted figures express emotions and experiences ranging from tenderness and sexual desire to emotional dependency and self-empowerment, presenting a multi-faceted view of the female experience. ​Catch Paula Rego's major retrospective at Tate Britain, until 24 October: https://bit.ly/38sUX4Z | Tate
