II Court painter to King Carlos IV, Goya is nursed back to health by a wealthy friend. Enemies at court spread rumors…expected not to survive. At least, he’ll never paint again, they say.

Siède French Svmbousm Through Its Premise That an Idea
Mester, Vol. xvz.v, (2000) Mario Vargas Llosa: Literatura, Art, and Goya's Ghost The relatíonship between the \'erbal and the pictorial—that is, between the written word and its \'isual representation, has exercised a particular fascination upon writers and ¿irtists throughout the ages. This nexus has operated both ways: artists have been fascinated by the manner in which writers manipúlate words, syntax and style to fashion new verbal realities (novéis, poems, plays), while writers for their part have succumbed to the allure of artists who utilise paint, ink, acid or crayons to créate new \'isual realities. Examples of this mutual attrac- tion and occasional cross-fertilisation between artists and writers abound. Perhaps no aesthetic movement illustrates the symbiosis be- tween literature and art more consistently and strikingly than fin ãc siède French svmboUsm through its premise that an idea could be expressed through form, the word orobjectrepresented beingnomore thím a sign to open up the pri\'ate world of the imagination. Thus, symbolist poets like Mallarmé, Verlaine and Rimbaud had their coun- terparts in painters like Redon, Moreau, Rops and Ensor—a spiritucd bond between the verbal and the plástic arts that has inspired exhibi- tions in importantmuseums,galleries andlibraries in cities as far apart as Melboume and Madrid.^ With respect to the Hispímic world, it is well-known that Sah ador Dalí and Federico García Lorca exercised considerable creative intlu- ence upon each other, while Dali also produced a series of one hundred wood engravings illustrating Dante's The Divine Comedi/. The early novéis of the Spanish Nobel Prize winner for literature, Camilo José Cela, were influenced by the power and the passion of Picasso's Guemica (1937), whose tortured images of mayhem in tum echo the scenes of murder cind mutilation in La familia de Pascual Duarte. -
Celestinas Y Majas En La Obra De Goya, Alenza Y Lucas Velázquez
Celestinesca 39 (2015): 275-328 Celestinas y majas en la obra de Goya, Alenza y Lucas Velázquez Rachel Schmidt University of Calgary A pesar de que se imprimieron pocas ediciones de la Celestina de Rojas en el siglo de las luces, como resume Joseph T. Snow, la fama de la obra «se incorporó en la conciencia del país» (2000: 46), hasta que la figura de su protagonista llegó a ser un tipo que designaba mujeres ejerciendo el oficio de terceras y alcahuetas. En el sigloXVIII se solía asociar la figura de celestina con una mujer madura y astuta que guiaba a un chico joven e inocente hacia un matrimonio, le conviniera o no. Es de esta manera como José Cadalso recomendaba al «militar a la violeta» la lectura de la obra de Rojas para que el joven ingenuo aprendiera a escaparse de los designios de las «viejas zurcidoras», herederas del oficio de la Celestina (Helman 1955: 221). Luis Paret y Alcázar, en su acuarela Celestina y los enamorados (1784), ya muestra el tipo de la anciana, con nariz bulbosa y mejillas hundidas, situada en un escenario empobrecido y circundada por botellas de vino (Snow 2000: 45). La tríada de celestina, prostituta y cliente será el modelo representativo de lo que Tomás Rodríguez Rubí clasificó como el rango más bajo de la «mujer del mundo», en un ensayo publicado en Los españoles pintados por sí mismos (1843); en este estudio, una viñeta con las cabezas de tres figuras, sirve como colofón al escrito (Figura 1). Los tipos son icónicos: la Celestina «con su nariz grotesca y su barbilla grande» dirige a la chica, situada en el centro, hacia el hombre, al que quiere vender sus servicios. -

Pourtant, les travaux français sur Goya à cette époque sont novateurs ; on y trouve ainsi les premiers catalogues de l’œuvre gravé et peint du maître aragonais. Le recueil gravé des Caprices, qui compte parmi l’une des premières œuvre mentionnées de cet artiste, est sans doute aussi la plus connue en France : la découverte de ce recueil marque l’historiographie française sur Goya, dont l’œuvre est parfois réduite à cette série, ce qui fait considérer l’artiste comme le premier graveur espagnol, tandis que sa peinture, mal connue est peu appréciée en général. -

Ignacio Zuloaga
Artigrama, núm. 25, 2010, pp. 165-183. ISSN: 0213-1498 La pasión por Goya en Zuloaga y su círculo Jesús Pedro Lorente Lorente* Resumen Este artículo reúne dos categorías de argumentos para mostrar que Ignacio Zuloaga fue como artista uno de los más señalados cultivadores de pinturas goyescas en cuestiones icono- gráficas y estéticas en las que tuvo a su vez seguidores; pero también un peritísimo goyista, quien coleccionó ávidamente obras del aragonés e incentivó a otros coleccionistas sirviéndoles de intermediario, por lo que figuran en lugar destacado en su museo de Zumaya y en tantos otros de todo el mundo. Palabras clave Goya, Zuloaga, gusto, coleccionismo. Abstract This article proposes two lines of argumentation, in order to show on the one hand that Ignacio Zuloaga was, as an artist, one of the most distinguished cultivators of goyesque paintings both regarding iconography and in aesthetic terms, leading the way to some emulators; but he also was, on the other hand, a knowledgeable expert in Goya, whose works he avidly collected, helping others to do so as well, as a result of which they figure prominently in his Zumaya museum and in others around the world. Key words Goya, Zuloaga, taste, collecting. * * * * * Uno de los más fascinantes temas de investigación para los historiado- res del arte es rastrear la trascendencia de los grandes artistas y sus obras, tanto en lo que respecta a al influjo en otros artistas como en lo relativo a su fortuna crítica entre los estudiosos.

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. -

ANTONIO SAURA'S MONSTRIFICATIONS: THE MONSTROUS BODY, MELANCHOLIA, AND THE MODERN SPANISH TRADITION BY FERNANDO HERRERO-MATOSES DISSERTATION Submitted as partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Art History in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2014 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Professor Jonathan D. Fineberg, Chair Associate Professor Jordana Mendelson, New York University Assistant Professor Terri Weissman Associate Professor Brett A. Kaplan Associate Professor Elena L. Delgado Abstract This dissertation examines the monstrous body in the works of Antonio Saura Atares (1930-1998) as a means of exploring moments of cultural and political refashioning of the modern Spanish tradition during the second half of the twentieth century. In his work, Saura rendered figures in well-known Spanish paintings by El Greco, Velázquez, Goya and Picasso as monstrous bodies. Saura’s career-long gesture of deforming bodies in discontinuous thematic series across decades (what I called monstrifications) functioned as instances for artistic self-evaluation and cultural commentary. Rather than metaphorical self-portraits, Saura’s monstrous bodies allegorized the artistic and symbolic body of his artistic ancestry as a dismembered and melancholic corpus. In examining Saura’s monstrifications, this dissertation closely examines the reshaping of modern Spanish narrative under three different political periods: Franco’s dictatorship, political transition, and social democracy. By situating Saura’s works and texts within the context of Spanish recent political past, this dissertation aims to open conversations and cultural analyses about the individual interpretations made by artists through their politically informed appropriations of cultural traditions. As I argue, Saura’s monstrous bodies incarnated an allegorical and melancholic gaze upon the fragmentary and discontinuous corpus of Spanish artistic legacy as an always-retrieved yet never restored body. -
Filmando La Historia. La Pintura De Goya Como Referente Visual En El Cine Histórico Español
V CONGRESO INTERNACIONAL DE HISTORIA Y CINE: ESCENARIOS DEL CINE HISTÓRICO FILMANDO LA HISTORIA. LA PINTURA DE GOYA COMO REFERENTE VISUAL EN EL CINE HISTÓRICO ESPAÑOL EVA OTERO V ÁZQUEZ Universidad de Santiago de Compostela Resumen Señalar que la herencia pictórica es la fuente principal de la que disponemos a la hora de documentamos visualmente en relación al pasado resulta una obviedad. En el caso de Goya y su época, la obra del pintor es un referente para el cine en múltiples ocasiones y no sólo en aquellas películas que atañen a su vida, sino que otros muchos filmes requieren de las iconografías goyescas como medio de relato de ciertos sucesos históricos, generalmente vinculados a episodios de la Guerra de la Independencia. Este artículo propone un acercamiento a las relaciones entre lo pictórico y lo fílmico, un vinculo tan prolífico que nos permite conocer los rostros de los personajes históricos a través de los retratos, relacionar las imágenes de la Guerra con grabados y lienzos, o adentramos en la sociedad de la época atendiendo a algunas de las obras más conocidas del pintor. Palabras clave: Pintura, Cine, Goya, Gue1Ta de la Independencia Title: FILMING HISTORY. GOYA' S PAINTING AS A VISUAL REFERENCE IN THE SPANISH HISTORICAL CINEMA.
