Goya, 1746-1828, was one of the most important Spanish painters of his time. In addition to painting members of court, he also painted and etched scenes from the Peninsular War in which Napoleon’s army invaded Spain, the series named “Disasters of War” as well as those imprisoned and tortured by the Inquisition, scenes in asylums and scenes of ordinary life.

Goya, Crazy Like a Genius (2012) een documentaire door Ian MacMillan, gepresenteerd door kunstcriticus Robert Hughes. Goya was undoubtedly the most brilliant Spanish artist of his generation, perhaps of all time, his work embracing vivid tapestries of Madrid majos and majas; royal portraits; the extraordinary etchings of the 'caprichos', the 'disasters of war' and the 'disparates'; the grim testimony of the May 1808 paintings of riot and reprisal; and the unparalleled bleak vision of his final 'black paintings.' 14: Premi re Partie: Francisco Goya Toutefois, en d pit des tr s nombreux renseignements apport s dans ces ouvrages sp ciaux, par chacun des biographes de Goya, ouvrages auxquels nous avons…, Featuring works by Francisco Goya, Sergei Eisenstein and Robert Longo, Proof offers insight into the singularity of vision through which artists can reflect the social, cultural and political complexities of their times. Hughes does a creditable job in covering the relevant period—the Inquisition, bullfighting, belief in witchcraft, the arts scene, the Spanish Enlightenment, the Napoleonic War, and the powerful personages.
Hughes gives us a comprehensive biography of Goya, the times in which he lived and most prominently his art. I mean, I was expecting to get some IMPORTANT Spanish writer to tell me about him; not some foreigner. Refresh and try again. Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2014.
