Self Portrait, by Francisco de Goya Credit: Hulton Fine Art Collection They are some of the most disturbing paintings in the history of art. In one, a man scuttles from the darkness. His eyes are wild, popping with paranoia. In his hands is a headless corpse – his son, cannibalised. Dark blood pours from his mouth. In another, two peasants, bodies poised in combat, cudgels swinging, are ready to bludgeon each other to death.

April 21, 2021 On Wednesday, April 21, from 4-5 p.m. join this virtual program, by Janis A. Tomlinson who is lecturing about the exhibition, World Without Reason: Goya’s Los Disparates. At some point between his 70th and 75th year, the Spanish artist Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) etched images published thirty-six years after his death as Los Proverbios.

An internationally recognized authority on Goya, Janis Tomlinson is the author of several books on the artist. Tomlinson’s recently published bio ....
