テート・ギャラリーさんのインスタグラム写真 - (テート・ギャラリーInstagram)「👰🏻🐾 'Bride' is one of a series of pastels which Paula Rego made in 1994, shown that year under the title 'Dog Woman'. The pastels depict women in dog-like positions, scavenging for food, baying at the moon, sleeping and grooming. Rego's daughter posed for this work wearing a raw silk wedding dress loaned by a friend. An early idea for 'Bride' had the model sitting on all fours, but Rego turned the figure so that she is 'belly-up in an attitude of surrender and ready to have her tummy tickled'. Rego said of the series: 'To be a dog woman is not necessarily to be downtrodden; that has very little to do with it. In these pictures every woman’s a dog woman, not downtrodden but powerful. To be bestial is good. It’s physical … To picture a woman as a dog is utterly believable. It emphasises the physical side of her being. What is important is that the dog is the animal most like a human. A dog learns people’s ways and behaves like a person, just as people do. Women learn from those they are with; they are trained to do certain things, but they are also part animal. They have independence of body, independence of spirit and their tastes can be quite gross.' 🖼️ Paula Rego's 'Bride' 1994」5月14日 2時37分
