| Summary: | "During the course of his life, Goya straddled two different periods and two different worlds - the Rococo of affectation and excess, and the early period of Romanticism, which looked ahead to Expressionism - and is without questions one of the key figures in the genesis of European contemporary art. His vision of humankind - with all its vices and pretensions, suffering and aspirations - was so penetrating that it remains as incisive today as it was revolutionary in how own times." "This book covers Goya's entire career, from his cartoons for tapestries and his court paintings to his large frescos, series of engravings and his formally and technically most experimental works, pieces that were not done to commission and which heralded new approaches to art."--BOOK JACKET "During the course of his life, Goya straddled two different periods and two different worlds - the Rococo of affectation and excess, and the early period of Romanticism, which looked ahead to Expressionism - and is without questions one of the key figures in the genesis of European contemporary art.
