Paula Rego
The female protagonists of the Portuguese-British artist Paula Rego either come from real life or derive from the worlds great legends, fairy tales, and myths. As complicated heroines of our time, they have endured illegal abortions or fought against the limitations of traditional gender roles instead of dragons.
My favorite themes are power games and hierarchies. Regos oeuvre is a tour de force of creativity. Endlessly versatile and inexhaustible, it is deeply rooted in pictorial worlds and stories from both past and present. This volume approaches the remarkable wealth of Regos multi-faceted universe through a range of different perspectives and tells of the power of history and emotions, womens rights, and invisible structures of domination.

Penguin Modern Classics The Beauty of Everyday Things
A Penguin Classic
Our lives are filled with objects. Everyday things used in everyday settings, they are our constant companions. As such, writes Soetsu Yanagi, they should be made with care and built to last, treated with respect and even affection. They should be natural and simple, sturdy and safe—an aesthetic fulfillment of our practical needs. They should, in short, be things of beauty.
Long revered as the authority on craftsmanship and Japanese aesthetics, Yanagi devoted his life and writing to defend the value of craft. In an age of feeble and ugly machine-made things, The Beauty of Everyday Things is a call for each of us to deepen our relationship with the objects that surround us. Inspired by the work of the simple artisans Yanagi encountered on his lifelong travels through Japan and Korea, this now-classic book is a heartfelt defence of modest, honest, handcrafted objects, from traditional teacups to jars to paper—objects that exemplify the beauty of everyday things.
