I'm aware that Paula Rego illustrated Peter Pan and Nursery Rhymes for the Folio Society, both marvellous publications (especially the Ann Muir special/limited edition versions). Did she illustrate any other works for FS?

A sad loss, but a long life lived well is always good to see.

Sad news. I am glad she lived to see the magnificent Tate Gallery retrospective of last year.

>1 cronshaw: I saw the obit too, she had a productive if at times tormented life (like many a great artist). I wasn't able to find any other FS books she illustrated, though there is a standalone version of her illustrated Nursery Rhymes available apart from the FS one. I was hoping there was a Taschen retrospective of her work, but am not finding one. Perhaps they'll rectify that in coming years.

>1 cronshaw: Agree that she was a powerful artist, but from what little I have read, I’m not sure she was a good parent.
I have a surreal memory of going to see an exhibition of her work at Abbott Hall, Kendal in 2001 during foot & mouth restrictions, driving through a landscape devoid of livestock.
Unaware of any other FS publications illustrated by Rego.

>1 cronshaw:

According to Foio 60 she also provided some of the illustrations for Andersen's Complete Tales in 2005. (or an illustration, it doesn't specify). Nothing else though.

>1 cronshaw: R.I.P.

She got a full-page obituary in today’s NY Times.
