REGO MEETS THE REAPER

In an interview last October, the painter Paula Rego, 81, recalled the night when, just as she was falling asleep, she heard footsteps “and the door opened and Death came in. So I rushed to my parents’ room but Death came after me and got into bed with the three of us.” Asked what Death looked like, she said: “It looked like it does: a skeleton with a scythe, draped in a hood.” telegraph.co.uk, 2 Oct 2016.
