Goya

Meer over het boek

The book explores a unique series of ambiguous drawings that serve as a meditative sequence, reflecting the artist's personal dreams and fantasies for private contemplation. These works mark a significant psychological advancement, linking them to the late self-portraits of Rembrandt and the Surrealist movements of artists like Salvador Dalì and Max Ernst. Edward Lucie-Smith's text contextualizes this pioneering exhibition, reconstructing Goya's dispersed album and examining contemporary perspectives on the self during its formative moments.
