  • Francisco De Goya
    Francisco de Goya, pintor a caballo entre el clasicismo y el romanticismo que se enmarca en el periodo de la Ilustración del siglo XVIII, es una figura imprescindible de la historia del arte español. El artista vive en una constante dicotomía, puesto que trabaja para la corte y, al mismo tiempo, introduce la crítica social en su obra y se interesa por temas poco habituales, como el lado oscuro del ser humano. De esta manera, revoluciona el arte con obras maestras como La maja desnuda o La familia de Carlos IV. Su talento a la hora de plasmar a la perfección la personalidad de sus personajes en sus retratos y de captar un sentido de la luz preciso y delicado queda reflejado en sus pinturas al óleo, sus frescos, sus aguafuertes, sus litografías y sus dibujos. Esta guía estructurada y concisa te invita a descubrir todos los secretos de Francisco de Goya, desde su contexto, su biografía y las características de su obra hasta un análisis de sus trabajos principales, como la Adoración del nombre de Dios por los ángeles, El sueño de la razón produce monstruos o La maja desnuda, entre otros. Te ofrecemos las claves para: conocer la España de los siglos XVIII y XIX, que pierde importancia a nivel mundial y que se muestra reacia a toda idea liberal que provenga de fuera de sus fronteras; descubrir los detalles sobre la vida de Francisco de Goya, artista lleno de contradicciones que se convierte en una de las figuras clave de la historia del arte español; analizar una selección de sus obras clave, como La maja desnuda, la Adoración del nombre de Dios por los ángeles, El sueño de la razón produce monstruos o La familia de Carlos IV; etc.

  • Twenty-Three Tales
    Twenty-Three Tales Author(s): Tolstoy, Leo Nikolayevich (1828-1910) Publisher: Grand Rapids, MI: Christian Classics Ethereal Library Description: Famous for his longer novels, War and Peace and Anna Karenina, Leo Tolstoy displays his mastery of the short story in Twenty-Three Tales. This volume is organized by topic into seven different segments. Part I is filled with stories for children, while Part 2 is filled with popular stories for adult. In Part 3, Tolstoy discreetly condemns capitalism in his fairy tale "Ivan the Fool." Part 4 contains several short stories, which were originally published with illustrations to encourage the inexpensive reproduction of pictorial works. Part 5 fea- tures a number of Russian folk tales, which address the themes of greed, societal conflict, prayer, and virtue. Part 6 contains two French short stories, which Tolstoy translated and modified. Finally, Part 7 contains a group of parabolic short stories that Tolstoy dedicated to the Jews of Russia, who were persecuted in the early 1900©s. Entertaining for all ages, Tolstoy©s creative short stories are overflowing with deeper, often spiritual, meaning. Emmalon Davis CCEL Staff Writer Subjects: Slavic Russian. White Russian.

  • Modernism, Liberation and a New Way of Seeing
    Diploma Lecture Series 2013 Revolution to Romanticism: European Art and Culture 1750-1850 Goya Michael Hill 20/21 February 2013 Lecture summary: Francisco de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) was the quintessentially ambitious artist, competing with the greats of the past and mastering every genre of painting. He became deaf mid-way through his career, plunging him into a silent world of visual narrative. This perhaps accounts for something of the intense emotionalism of his storytelling, which culminates in the so-called ‘Black paintings’ of his last years. Slide list: 1.

  • Goya and the War of Independence: a View of Spanish Film Under Franco (1939-1958)
    GOYA AND THE WAR OF INDEPENDENCE: A VIEW OF SPANISH FILM UNDER FRANCO (1939-1958) Diana Callejas Universidad Autónoma de Madrid At the end of the 1950´s, and with the Franco regimen solidly established in power, Spanish society would commemorate, without excessive display, the 150-year anniversary of the 1808 War of Independence. This conflict had brought the defenders of the monarchy into confrontation against those of liberal constitutionalism, and the conservative tradition against the ideals of progress. For many historians and intellectuals of the era, the war symbolized the authentic redefining landmark of Spain. It was an expression both of a people, who with their minimal military resources were capable of overthrowing the most powerful imperial force of the time, Napoleon, and of the extremely radical opposition to the pressure imposed by foreign ideals. The substantial volume of movies about Goya and the War of Independence in Spanish cinema demands a needed reflection on the importance of this topic. The characteristics found both in the image of Goya, a key figure in Spanish culture who fused in his work the secular and the sacred, and also in the War, a conflict characterized by traditional social change, will be decisive references when this time period on the big screen. They will serve additionally as metaphors in subsequent years. Few studies exist on this topic, and there are fewer still that treat the Franco period; hence, this article offers fundamental insight on how to interpret a period of such change in the Spain’s cultural and ideological history. Understanding this time period is essential to understanding the evolution and development of this view in a year such as 2008, a year which marks the 200-year anniversary of the War of Independence and consequently that of May 2, a date inextricably linked in today’s society with the life and work of Francisco de Goya.

  • Dreams and Fury of a Visionary: Goya Francisco Goya
    Dreams and fury of a visionary: Goya Francisco Goya Unlike many of the leading figures of the art world, Francisco Goya cannot be really placed in any specific artistic movement or historical period. On the one hand he is close to the late Baroque and to Neoclassicism, on the other his opus shows themes typical of the Age of Enlightenment, anticipations of romantic philosophy and reflections on modernity. In a politically and socially backwards Spain, Goya is a witness (in Argan’s words) “of sharp mind and of moral and political dignity”, as well as a precursor of the anguish and reflections of the XIX and XX century. In the artistic journey of the Spanish master, engraving acts as a cultural and stylistic synthesis of his iconography, and Goya revolutionises its techniques too. A true etching virtuoso, the Spanish artist is equally versed in drypoint and burin and experiments successfully with aquatint. Goya’s work is a real turning point in the history of printmaking and his influence can be traced across the entire XIX century and even in the XX century, as far as into German Expressionism. The exhibition presented here follows in a remarkably complete fashion the entire span of Goya’s life. In the D’après Velazquez series (1778-82) the artist pays tribute to his master with eleven extraordinary etchings. The second series are the Caprichos, completed in 1798. Rooted in Enlightenment rationality, these exceptional plates nevertheless prefigure more modern anxieties and irrationalities. Goya’s satire uncovers the evils, prejudices and deceits of the Spain of his times, which are the same evils, prejudices and deceits of any society.

  • Los Caprichos De Goya. Estampas Y Textos Contra El Sueño De La Razón
    Sans Soleil Varios Sans Soleil Varios Los Caprichos de Goya. Estampas y textos contra el sueño de la razón -Gorka López de Munain Iturrospe- Universidad del País Vasco/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea Porque quede dicho ya a limine: Goya es un monstruo, precisamente el monstruo de los monstruos, y el más decidido monstruo de sus propios monstruos. Ortega y Gasset. 1-Introducción: A lo largo de las siguientes líneas, trataremos de acercarnos al difícil mun- do de Francisco de Goya, avanzando sobre los vestigios del ambiente cultural que pudieron influir tanto en su personalidad como en su obra grabada Los Caprichos. El genial pintor vivió una etapa decisiva de nuestra historia. Una época en la que aun chocaban los arcaicos sistemas de pensamiento del Antiguo Régimen con las nuevas corrientes ilustradas que traían consigo no sólo aires de libertad y derechos, sino toda una nueva concepción antropológica del hombre. Goya por su parte, tomó partido con sus pinceles y nos legó todo un documento gráfico que ofrece una sin- gular síntesis del ambiente vivido a finales del siglo XVIII. De esta manera, a través de los textos literarios que Goya pudo manejar, y siguiendo las opiniones de los ilustrados que conoció, intentaremos penetrar en ese oscuro mundo dominado aún por el peso de la Iglesia, en el que la sociedad nau- fraga entre la prostitución, los matrimonios convenidos o las ancestrales prácticas supersticiosas. 1-Goya, artista e ilustrado. Goya, artista de genio y originalidad indiscutibles, se desenvolvió en una época convulsa, y debido a su longevidad, le fue dado conocer desde el auge de la ilustración con Carlos III, hasta la tiranía de Fernando VII.

Throughout a 60-year career as an artist, he created works that demonstrated enormous variety and creativity in his approach to art. As a teenager Goya worked as an apprentice to the artist José Luzán, from whom he learned to draw by copying prints of several masters. By 1771 he had established himself as an independent painter in Saragossa and at the age of 28 he was able to secure a position in Madrid painting cartoons for the Royal Tapestry Manufactory. By 1786 Goya had earned the title of Painter to the King and was able to paint with increased independence while creating portraits of members of the Spanish royal familyi. However, Goya is perhaps better known for creating images critical of changes in the world around him.

  • 1: We Would Like a Very Simple, Straightforward Design Such As
    September/October 2014 DFW Art History Network Newsletter Issue X In May of this year, Mrs. Edith O’Donnell made the largest gift that has ever been made in Texas—and probably in the US-- to the study of art history. Her $17,000,000.00 endowment gift, already paid in full, will result in the most important Art History Institute in Texas. Within the next year or two, we will hire 5 new endowed Chairs of Art History (4) and Conservation Science (1), bring 10 Ph.D. students and post-docs to Dallas with a fellowship package that more than rivals those of the big universities on the east and west coasts, and have a permanent endowment for art historical travel, symposia, lectures, visiting scholars, visiting artists, that will benefit the entire art historical community of North Texas. What might surprise all of you is that it was the newsletters and programs of DFWAHN that really pushed Mrs. O’Donnell to make this gift and to make it not just to UTD, but to the entire art historical community of North Texas. With her support of AP Art Never before have so many of the directors of History in our public and private schools, it is part of her the most important international research commitment to teaching and research excellence in art history at institutes in art history been together in Texas, ALL levels in our communities. and the occasion promises to be truly historic. To celebrate this and to inaugurate the institute, we are bringing the Directors of the Institute of Fine Arts in New York, the Zentralinstitut fur Kunstgeschichte in Munich, the Clark Art Edith O’Donnell Institute of Institute in Williamstown, Mass, and the Getty Research Center in Los Angeles to Dallas on October 29th and 30th.
