Additional Information

The Firemen of Alijo, 1966 by Paula Rego, in 50 x 70 cm poster format.

Rego described this surreal painting as a tribute to a group of poor firemen she met in Alijo, Portugal. She portrays them as surreal figures in bright colours that look simultaneously animalistic and mechanical, yet distinctly human.

The poster features a white border and the artwork credit line printed under the image. It’s printed on responsibly sourced, FSC certified paper, and is a good fit for our 70 x 50 cm Tate picture frames.

About the artist

Paula Rego (1935 – 2022) was an artist born in Lisbon, Portugal and travelled between London and Portugal throughout her life. She studied painting at the Slade School of Fine Art, London, and throughout her career she revolutionised the way in which women are represented, playing a key role in redefining figurative art in the UK and internationally. Her early paintings in Portugal were semi-abstract, sometimes applied to violent or political subjects that revealed a love of story-telling that had been awakened in her as a child by folk-tales related by a great-aunt. She was drawn to subjects that are well known, and takes her imagery from sources as varied as Peter Pan and Mary Magdalene. Her work is part of many public collections, including Tate’s collection.
