Francisco de Goya y Lucientes is among the best-known figures in the history of Spanish art and renowned as one of the greatest painters of all time. He is also revered as one of history's greatest draftsmen and printmakers. This exhibition will showcase more than 75 of his paramount works on paper from the unparalleled collections of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
"Goya in Black and White" will explore the evolution of the artist's graphic work in all media. The importance of black and white will be shown throughout the exhibition, not only literally, in black ink on white paper, but also figuratively, as in the oppositions of night and day, the balance between menacing shadow and hopeful light, that pervade the artist's imagination.
In the Kimbell's exhibition, Goya's principal series and best-known compositions, including the Caprichos series, The Sleep of Reason Produces Monsters, Disasters of War, Disparates, and Tauromaquia, will be represented in detail, some works in multiple impressions, to show the creative evolution of the artistic process of a genius.
This exhibition is organized by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston.
