A Dama Pé de Cabra - Paula Rego e Adriana Molder/
7 July - 28 October
This is the first international exhibition of new work by
Paula Rego and Adriana Molder.
Directly inspired by Alexandre Herculano's tale A Dama
Pé-de-Cabra (The Goat-Footed Lady), the two artists worked at
the same time on two independent sets of large-scale work, to be
shown at the Casa das Histórias Paula Rego.
Paula Rego (b. 1935) reveals brilliant imagery and narratives
inspired by the story, using totally free composition and
lines.

Adriana Molder (b. 1975) is a Portuguese artist who lives in
Berlin, and defined the underlying concept of this project and the
challenge given to Paula Rego. She has developed a figurative
structure in her work, with recognizable international success. In
the drawings displayed here, she builds powerful images showing
psychological and narrative aspects of the characters chosen.
