“I get inspiration from things that have nothing to do with painting: caricature, items from newspapers, sights in the street, proverbs, nursery-rhymes, children's games and songs, nightmares, desires, terrors. ... That question [why do you paint?] has been put to me before and my answer was, 'To give terror a face.' But it's more than that. I paint because I can't help it.” GivingChildrenHas BeensArtI CanHelpingInspirationFacesDesireSongGamesAnswersStreetsPaintingSightPaintTerrorNewspapersNightmareRhymeItemsBecause I CanNurseryCaricaturesNursery Rhymes Book:Paula Rego Source: Paula Rego
