Download or read book Goya written by Janis Tomlinson and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2022-06-14 with total page 424 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first major English-language biography of Francisco Goya y Lucientes, who ushered in the modern era The life of Francisco Goya (1746–1828) coincided with an age of transformation in Spanish history that brought upheavals in the country's politics and at the court which Goya served, changes in society, the devastation of the Iberian Peninsula in the war against Napoleon, and an ensuing period of political instability. In this revelatory biography, Janis Tomlinson draws on a wide range of documents—including letters, court papers, and a sketchbook used by Goya in the early years of his career—to provide a nuanced portrait of a complex and multifaceted painter and printmaker, whose art is synonymous with compelling images of the people, events, and social revolution that defined his life and era. Tomlinson challenges the popular image of the artist as an isolated figure obsessed with darkness and death, showing how Goya's likeability and ambition contributed to his success at court, and offering new perspectives on his youth, rich family life, extensive travels, and lifelong friendships. She explores the full breadth of his imagery—from scenes inspired by life in Madrid to visions of worlds without reason, from royal portraits to the atrocities of war. She sheds light on the artist's personal trials, including the deaths of six children and the onset of deafness in middle age, but also reconsiders the conventional interpretation of Goya's late years as a period of disillusion, viewing them instead as years of liberated artistic invention, most famously in the murals on the walls of his country house, popularly known as the "black" paintings. A monumental achievement, Goya: A Portrait of the Artist is the definitive biography of an artist whose faith in his art and his genius inspired paintings, drawings, prints, and frescoes that continue to captivate, challenge, and surprise us two centuries later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante el siglo pasado no han faltado investigadores ocupados en sacar a la luz documentos relativos a la vida de Goya durante la Guerra de la Independencia, pero pese a sus esfuerzos, resulta imposible determinar a ciencia cierta cuál fue la actitud política del ilustre pintor durante lo que los contemporáneos denominaron “la revolución de España”. Durante seis años (1808-1814), España fue el teatro de una guerra que enfrentó a Napoleón con el resto de Europa y de una auténtica revolución que supuso el principio del fin del Antiguo Régimen. Pero supuso también una despiadada guerra civil entre patriotas (liberales y absolutistas) y los que, por motivos muy diversos, sirvieron al intruso José I y fueron calificados de «afrancesados». Saber con certeza cómo vivió Goya este dramático periodo permitiría interpretar correctamente las obras que realizó en esta época. ¿Se dejó seducir Goya por el programa reformista de José I, como sostiene Pierre Gassier? ¿Fue, como opinó Jeannine Baticle, un ardiente patriota? ¿O fue, como pretende Robert Hugues, un destacado liberal, partidario entusiasta de la Constitución promulgada en Cádiz en 1812? Después de rastrear todos los datos ya publicados sobre el asunto; la prensa de la época; las memorias de los contemporáneos españoles, franceses, ingleses y polacos; la correspondencia de Napoleón, Leandro Fernández de Moratín, Gaspar de Jovellanos o José I (incluso la correspondencia privada que cayó en manos de Wellington después de la batalla de Vitoria), Gérard Dufour nos muestra los pasos que siguió Goya durante la Guerra de la Independencia y su conducta. Una conducta que, por supuesto, no fue unívoca, y en la que se mezclaban actitudes de puro patriotismo y un afrancesamiento como mínimo pasivo al tiempo que recibía, posiblemente, la “luz” masónica.

Download or read book 1812 Echoes written by Stephen G.H. Roberts and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2013-07-26 with total page 455 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book commemorates the bicentenary of the landmark Spanish Constitution of 1812. Drafted by Spanish and colonial Spanish American liberals (and non-liberals) holed up in Cadiz as Napoleon’s troops occupied the surrounding hills, this war-time Constitution set out radically to redefine ‘the Spanish nation’ for a new age. In the event, it divided Spaniards and threw into sharp relief the question of Spain’s legitimacy in her American colonies. Cadiz 1812 is a defining moment in the modern history of the Spanish-speaking world. Bringing together specialists in the history, politics and culture of Spain and Latin America (the Cadiz text was a cultural and ethnic document as much as a politico-legal one), this volume represents the only large-scale commemoration in the UK of one of the world’s first liberal constitutional tracts. The point of the book, however, as of the conference and accompanying exhibition on which it is based, is not solely to reflect on the significance and repercussions of Cadiz 1812 on both sides of the Hispanic Atlantic at the time. The book also considers later interpretations of Cadiz 1812 and examines, in addition, other constitutions in the Spanish-speaking world beyond 1812. Subjects treated include: Spain’s crisis of absolutism; the Inquisition before the Constitution; liberalism and Catholicism; discourses of the 1812 Constitution; the question of sovereignty; political theatre during the Napoleonic invasion; Goya; the Spanish crisis in the British press; Lord Holland and Blanco White; Pérez Galdós’s Cádiz; futuristic literary representations of Spain’s nineteenth-century crisis; political and philosophical echoes in Latin America in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries – in Cúcuta, Mexico, Argentina and Cuba; and, finally, politico-philosophical echoes in Spain – in the Liberal Triennium, in the mid-nineteenth century, in the Spanish Second Republic, in 1978, and in 2011 in the midst of the financial (but it is also a constitutional) crisis. The volume includes a specially-conducted interview with Spanish politician Alfonso Guerra, one of the figures behind the Spanish Constitution of 1978.

Book excerpt: El 3 de mayo de 1808 es uno de los más grandiosos cuadros de tema bélico de todos los tiempos, y por su implicación política, uno de los más polémicos. Pero ¿cuál fue la verdadera intención de Goya al cumplir el encargo del Consejo de Regencia poco después de la Restauración en 1814? En este fascinante libro, Hugh Thomas sitúa el cuadro en el contexto de la vida y la obra del artista y en el de la historia española, investiga las conexiones de Goya con la Corte, de la que era pintor oficial, sus relaciones con los ministros de un Despotismo benevolente y su amistad con los pocos representantes de la Ilustración en España antes de la invasión napoleónica.
Download or read book Goya and the Mystery of Reading written by Luis Martín-Estudillo and published by Vanderbilt University Press. This book was released on 2023-03-15 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spanish artist Francisco de Goya (1746–1828) lived through an era of profound societal change. One of the transformations that he engaged passionately was the unprecedented growth both in the number of readers and in the quantity and diversity of texts available. He documented and questioned this reading revolution in some of his most captivating paintings, prints, and drawings. Goya and the Mystery of Reading explores the critical impact this transition had on the work of an artist who aimed not to copy the world around him, but to see it anew—to read it. Goya's creations offer a sustained reflection on the implications of reading, which he depicted as an ambiguous, often mysterious activity: one which could lead to knowledge or ecstasy, to self-fulfillment or self-destruction, to piety or perdition. At the same time, he used reading to elicit new possibilities of interpretation. This book reveals for the first time the historical, intellectual, and artistic underpinnings of reading as one of the pillars of his art. This book is the recipient of the 2023 Norman L. and Roselea J. Goldberg Prize from Vanderbilt University Press for the best book in the area of art or medicine.
Download or read book The Colossal written by Peter Mason and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peter Mason takes a bold, multidisciplinary approach in this account of the idea of the colossal in culture. He gathers instances of the colossal throughout history—including the obelisks of Egypt, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Roman Colosseum, the heads of the Olmecs, and the stone statues of Easter Island—using historical and archaeological evidence to position them within the context of time and culture. Mason establishes a vision of the colossal that encompasses both the colossal in scale and another, overlooked sense of the word: the archaic Greek kolossos, a ritual effigy, and its modern equivalents. Combining fascinating detail with a rigorous account that spans three millennia, The Colossal argues that the artist who best understood and tapped into the kolossos was Alberto Giacometti. Mason shows that the Swiss sculptor and painter’s work articulated themes of death and mourning in ways rarely seen since the art of archaic Greece, themes most evident in his enigmatic work, The Cube. From the monolithic sculptures of long-dead civilizations to Giacometti’s imposing and unsettling heads, The Colossal is an innovative book that traces unexplored thematic threads through visual history.
Download or read book Goya s Graphic Imagination written by Mark McDonald and published by Metropolitan Museum of Art. This book was released on 2021-02-08 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the first focused investigation of Francisco Goya's (1746–1828) graphic output. Spanning six decades, Goya’s works on paper reflect the transformation and turmoil of the Enlightenment, the Inquisition, and Spain's years of constitutional government. Two essays, a detailed chronology, and more than 100 featured artworks illuminate the remarkable breadth and power of Goya's drawings and prints, situating the artist within his historical moment. The selected pieces document the various phases and qualities of Goya's graphic work—from his early etchings after Velázquez through print series such as the Caprichos and The Disasters of War to his late lithographs, The Bulls of Bordeaux, and including albums of drawings that reveal the artist’s nightmares, dreams, and visions.
Download or read book Theories of History written by Michael J. Kelly and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2018-05-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is open access and available on www.bloomsburycollections.com. It is funded by Knowledge Unlatched. In a unique approach to historical representations, the central question of this book is 'what is history?' By describing 'history' through its supplementary function to the field of history, rather than the ground of a study, this collection considers new insights into historical thinking and historiography across the humanities. It fosters engagement from around the disciplines in historical thinking and, from that, invites historians and philosophers of history to see clearly the impact of their work outside of their own specific fields, and encourages deep reflection on the role of historical production in society. As such, Theories of History opens up for the first time a truly cross-disciplinary dialogue on history and is a unique intervention in the study of historical representation. Essays in this volume discuss music history, linguistics, theater studies, paintings, film, archaeology and more. This book is essential reading for those interested in the practice and theories of history, philosophy, and the humanities more broadly. Readers of this volume are not only witness to, but also part of the creation of, radical new discourses in and ways of thinking about, doing and experiencing history.

Book excerpt: Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) es uno de los artistas más universales de la historia del arte español. Célebre sobre todo por sus obras pictóricas (El Quitasol, La gallina ciega...), sus grabados se cuentan entre los pocos que ocupan un lugar destacado en la historia del arte. Su influencia en la pintura y sobre todo en el cine (Buñuel, Saura, etc.) del siglo xx es más que notable.
