After 'Marriage a la Mode' by Hogarth
Lessons (1999)
By Paula Rego
Rego made this work for the National Gallery's group exhibition Encounters, eight years after her residency. She was asked to produce a piece that responded to a work in the gallery's collection. Rego chose British artist William Hogarth's Marriage A-la-Mode c.1743. Hogarth's cycle of paintings is a morality tale of arranged marriage, betrayal and death. Rego reworks Hogarth's story, updates it and set it in Portugal. In her first panel, two mothers arrange their children's marriage. In the second, the girl learns to perform 'womanhood' from her future mother-in-law. Finally, the now grown-up husband returns destitute from Brazil, in need of his betrayed wife's support.

Paula Rego
(July – October 2021)
The UK's largest and most comprehensive retrospective of Paula Rego’s work to date.
Since the 1950s, Paula Rego has played a key role in redefining figurative art in the UK and internationally. An uncompromising artist of extraordinary imaginative power, she has revolutionised the way in which women are represented.
This exhibition tells the story of this artist’s extraordinary life, highlighting the personal nature of much of her work and the socio-political context in which it is rooted. It also reveals the artist’s broad range of references, from comic strips to history painting.
It features over 100 works, including collage, paintings, large-scale pastels, ink and pencil drawings and etchings. These include early works from the 1950s in which Rego first explored personal as well as social struggle, her large pastels of single figures from the acclaimed Dog Women and Abortion series and her richly layered, staged scenes from the 2000-10s.
This is a unique opportunity to survey, in the city that Rego has lived in and called home for most of her life, the full range of her work.

This school in Arraial do Cabo provided lessons for men who needed to brush up their dancing skills for the upcoming Dia das Namoradas (Brazilian Valentine's Day). There was tinny music coming from a cheap little boombox, and it must have been rather difficult to dance to. The scene was peculiarly static for a dance lesson and the picture does capture the awkwardness to an extent. All of these guys were rather horrible dancers, but you got to admire that they put in the effort so they can lead their ladies to the dance floor on Valentine's Day.

United States Poet Laureate Natasha Trethewey adeptly combines the personal and the historical in her work. Her poem “History Lessons” speaks to her upbringing in the post-segregated South.
In conjunction with Trethewey’s visit to campus and public talk on March 4, a team of students has created the History Lessons Project—a public story sharing effort made up of individuals’ personal “history lesson” statements. Those stories have been crafted into an art piece that will be installed in Oberlin’s Finney Chapel during Trethewey’s talk.
Freshly made design aLa 2008.
Lesson :
After ur done designing your name....turn your paper upside down.....and look at the letters again...sometime you get the most intresting letters what you never would have think of.
see my example...when i was done with my Maty design.....it has an aswom E B H Y W in it....and more....if i make some little changes i can get much more letters from just one design.
you can also hold your design against the light and look for letters.
This trick can be very handy when ur low on insperation.

My second surf lesson. I had attempted to surf 3 or 4 times before taking lessons in Saquarema. There's no way I would have made this much progress without Michel and Charlie's help.

Inverno 2005 no Brasil - Julie and I visited Brazil from mid-July to mid-August. We went to John and Anna Karla's wedding in Vit?ria at the start of the trip. John's from California. His parents and my parents are quite good friends. All 4 of them came to the wedding as well. Anna Karla's from Esp?rito Santo. I met her and her family for the first time in Brazil. A couple days after the wedding in Vit?ria we went to Pancas, Anna Karla's hometown, for another party. Most people returned to Vit?ria, but Julie and I stayed in Pancas with the intention of bicycling from there to Rio de Janeiro.
When John's mother, Katy, left Pancas, she let Julie and me borrow her digital camera for the rest of the trip. It was our first foray into the world of digital photos. Before the end of the trip we had exhausted the two rechargeable batteries Katy had loaned us (sans recharger). So we have some film photos as well. The film and digital photos are mixed together in this slide show...

Brendan has become quite good at piano after a year of lessons with concert pianist Karen Hutchinson. He never misses any opportunity to practice the piano at his house or ours in Burlingame and the one in our cabin. He is teaching Liam the keys here.
This vibrant bit of work was on my list for a long time, but now it looks like I waited a bit too long.
