Nursery Rhymes

Paula Rego, 1989

Leeds Art Gallery, Leeds
© The Artist c/o Marlborough Fine Art

12 prints from a portfolio of 25 etchings including Three Blind Mice. They are not simply tales of victims and oppressors but are full of reversals and surprises, claustrophobic environments in which the innocence of childhood is subverted and parodied.
