'Dancing Ostriches from Walt Disney's 'Fantasia'' is a masterpiece that stands among Paula Rego's most ambitious works.
Executed upon two monumental panels, it is the finest and most complex in her extraordinary series of the same name.
Formerly part of the Saatchi Collection, it was inspired by a scene in Walt Disney's animation Fantasia (1940), in which a group of ostriches perform the ballet 'Dance of the Hours' from Amilcare Ponchielli's opera La Gioconda (1876).
Where Disney cast his dancers as animals, however, Rego translates them back into women. Across the series, her subjects rail against balletic stereotypes of youth, beauty and femininity, each a complex expression of power and vulnerability.
'Dancing Ostriches from Walt Disney's 'Fantasia'' (1995). Estimate: £2,200,000-£3,200,000.
20th/21st Century: London Evening Sale | Live Auction: 13 October, London.
