Ze werden eergisteren besproken op het vierde college van mijn cursus 'Verdieping 1 - Meesterwerken' van de KLU in het Gorcums Museum. Goya schilderde ze voor zichzelf, op de muren van het huis waar hij zich aan het eind van zijn leven met zijn minnares Leocadia Weiss had terug..

Final one: Two Old Ones Eating Soup.

And with that, time for me to eat my own dinner. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk about Goya — and everything else rattling around my head this afternoon.

Here we see Goya playing prophet — the incel in his natural environment.

This series will focus on Goya’s Black Paintings (1819–1823).

Painted directly on the walls of his home outside Madrid, they are some of the most haunting images in art — born from isolation, war, and disillusionment.

I want to start a new series where I introduce artists I love — not as an art historian, but as someone moved by their work.

First up: Francisco #Goya (1746–1828).

I don’t know why but I this painting by Goya. I love most of Goya’s work (and I’ve seen most of it in the flesh today!) but the black paintings have always really appealed to me.

This is number eleven in a series of old masters inspired paintings. It's based on "Saturn devouring his son" by Francisco Goya.

I've written about #AbstractImpressionism and #ColdWar.
Abstract Impressionism was backed by the #CIA against #Soviet realism but it's just part of #Art history
Frank Stella, his #BlackPaintings (1959) and then black series were precursors of #Minimalism
Frank Stella, Towering Artist and Master of Reinvention, Dies at 87

He moved American art away from Abstract Expressionism toward cool minimalism. His explorations of color and form were endlessly discussed and constantly on exhibit.

TV show idea: "Extreme Home Makeover: Goya Edition"

In the show, one lucky family will get a Francisco Goya style makeover of all their interior walls. Grim murals as far as the eye can see to revive the "Quinta Del Sordo / Black Paintings" look.

Ever wanted to share a meal with Saturn? Now's your chance as the famously peckish Titan can adorn your dining-room wall.
