Editor: Paula Rego's 'Drawing for ‘The Dance’' really grabs you, doesn't it? It’s got this unsettling energy, with the dancers and those figures slumped by the well. What strikes you about it? Curator: It feels like a memory, doesn’t it? Fragile, yet holding onto something vital. I always find myself drawn to the dancers, their swirling joy juxtaposed with the weary figures. It's like a bittersweet tango between life and exhaustion, wouldn't you say? What do you make of the well? Editor: Maybe it's a symbol of life or oblivion? Something to think about. Thanks for the insight! Curator: My pleasure! Art like this invites a delicious kind of pondering, don’t you think?
