  • Un Pintor De Película: Francisco De Goya En El Cine
    UN PINTOR DE PELÍCULA: FRANCISCO DE GOYA EN EL CINE EVA OTERO VÁZQUEZ Universidade de Santiago de Compostela Resumen: Quizá sea Francisco de Goya el pintor español más internacional de todos los tiempos. Su vida y su obra han influido en expresiones artísticas diversas y, dentro de ellas, el cine nos ofrece varios planteamientos frente a la figura del pintor, convirtiéndolo en protagonista o secundario en función del argumento de la película. A lo largo de estas páginas nos aproximaremos a su personalidad partiendo de aquellos aspectos biográficos que han tenido una mayor repercusión en el llamado Séptimo Arte y que, a modo de ejemplo, destacamos en dos producciones españolas de estreno prácticamente simultáneo: Volavérunt (Bigas Luna, 1999) y Goya en Burdeos (Carlos Saura, 1999). Palabras clave: Cine, pintura, biopic, Francisco de Goya. Abstract: Francisco de Goya might be the most international Spanish painter ever. His life and works have influenced diverse artistic expressions; among them, the film industry offers us several approaches regarding the figure of the painter, becoming the main or secondary character depending on the plot of the film. Through out these pages, we will get closer to his personality, beginning with those biographic aspects which have had a bigger repercussion on the so-called the cinema; and that, as an example, we highlight in two Spanish productions almost released at the same time: Volavérunt (Bigas Luna, 1999) y Goya en Burdeos (Carlos Saura, 1999). Key words: Cinema, painting, biopic, Francisco de Goya. FRANCISCO DE GOYA Y LUCIENTES: APROXIMACIÓN A pesar de ser uno de los artistas más estudiados y divulgados, no contamos con un currículum exacto de Goya.

  • 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.

  • Inventing Goya
    Inventing Goya Joseph R. Jones The Encounters conference took place because in 1898 or thereabouts, one great Spanish artist encountered the work of another, and the result of that encounter has become an object of study and admiration for everyone present. We are allotting most of our time today to the music of one of these two geniuses, but it is appropriate to take half an hour to remember the great painter who inspired the music, and whose very name now stands for a troubled and colorful time in Spain’s history. To quote Granados’ librettist, Periquet: “The word “Goya” is not only a surname but the symbol of a period of farces and tragedy, tonadillas and riots, bullfights and aristocrats, true love and dalliances.”1 Granados and Periquet were both, as we know, obsessed with Goya’s art. But they were also fascinated by the personality of the artist. They considered him to be not only the consummate painter of Spain in all its aspects, even its darkest, but also the incarnation their country’s eternal values of manliness, loyalty, honesty, and patriotism. They made Goya a character in their first tonadilla, “La maja de Goya,” and Granados clearly planned to include him in the opera Goyescas. We know this because when the composer began to consider turning his piano suite into an opera, he jotted down, in notebooks that still survive, four different story lines, in which he describes his hero as “famous artist, lover of duchess” or “artist and student.” In one set of notes, he describes the opening scene as showing the arrival of Diego de Goya y Lucientes (identified by his initials) in a carriage, a calesa, which recalls the original and now puzzling title of the opera, Goyesca.

  • Francisco De Goya Y Lucientes
    FRANCISCO DE GOYA Y LUCIENTES Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes is regarded as the most important Spanish artist of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries Francisco was born in Fuendetodos, Spain on March 30, 1746. He took his first art lessons from his father, who was a master gilder. Francisco also learned etching from friendly local monks. He became an apprentice at age 14 to a village painter and realized that he wanted to become an artist. However, the art academy rejected him in 1763 and 1766, which greatly disappointed the young man. Goya didn't give up on his dream of becoming a painter, though, and traveled to Italy to study. He learned how to paint in the bold Rococo style and even won second prize in a painting contest in Rome. Goya triumphantly went back to Spain in 1771 and began painting frescoes in the local cathedral. He also studied with an artist named Francisco Bayeu and later married Bayeu's sister, Josefa. His marriage helped him get a job creating designs for the royal tapestry factory in Madrid from 1775 until 1792. He designed 42 tapestries that showed scenes from everyday life, and he developed new techniques that helped weavers do their craft with precision. Tapestry design was fun, but Goya still wanted to be a full-time painter. Goya's big break came in 1783. One of the king's friends asked Goya to paint his portrait, which turned out well. Soon, Goya had other patrons. He became popular for his amazing portraits. Many of them had an element of mystery to them.
