1: Excellent
As a former pupil of Dr Lisboa, I cannot recommend her work strongly enough. Her teaching and writing are tremendously insightful, well-argued and inspirational; and she offers a unique perspective on the work of this neglected Portuguese/British artist. I look forward to reading more of her work in the future.

2: Wonderful and Intelligent
This is a beautifully written and insightful analysis of Paula Rego's important body of work. The author is particularly good at linking the artist's themes and imagery to the personal, political, and social events that influenced them. Gloriously free of post-Modern jargon and wordplay, it's an enjoyable and challenging read from start to finish. The reader doesn't have to agree with Lisboa's multifaceted interpretation of every painting or pastel to appreciate her intelligence and breadth of knowledge. I would recommend it highly to anyone interested in Rego, contemporary art, or the psychology of artistic expression.
