LLEI D'ART 10

estampas con visiones de pesadilla, escenas absurdas, per- sonajes que no son de este mundo, obsesiones encubiertas y desveladas en su vejez; sin duda, en suconjunto, es la más misteriosa y enigmática, la más hermética y personal de sus series. Tomando como punto de partida la serie de los Disparates , la exposición plantea un recorrido por el arte contemporáneo y el grabado actuales, relacionando a Goya y doce de sus Dis- parates con veintiún artistas emblemáticos del siglo XX (José Manuel Broto, Eduardo Arroyo, Günter Grass, Martín Chirino, Luis Feito, Juan Genovés, Manolo Valdés, Luis Caruncho, Andrés Rábago El Roto , José Beulas, Ricardo Calero, Julio León, Alicia Díaz Rinaldi, Darío Villalba, Luis Gordillo, José Hernández, Rafael Canogar, Jaume Plensa, Víctor Mira, Pas- cual Blanco y Guinovart). Todos ellos se han visto seducidos e inspirados por el genial aragonés para realizar sus creacio- nes en el campo del grabado, proponiendo una reivindicación del mismo como técnica artística del más alto nivel. Goya and his heirs. The Follies, today. Diocesan Museum of Barcelona Until the 15th of September 2013 Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes, painter, en- graver, the incomparable artist born in Fuendetodos (Zaragoza) shines brightly however his work is ana- lysed, since it broke away from all of the prevailing aesthetic or iconographic limitations established at the time he was creating his work. He is the precur- sor of all the artistic, aesthetic and expressive move- ments that the artists who followed him would be part of, from Romanticism to Impressionism, and even Ab- straction; an overwhelming prodigy. Goya’s collection of Disparates (Follies) was his last great collection of engravings, completed between 1819 and 1824. They are certainly the most difficult to interpret: prints with visions of nightmares, absurd vignettes, otherworldly charcters, secret obsessions uncovered in old age: without a doubt, this collection is the most mysteri- ous and enigmatic, the most inscrutable and personal of all of Goya’s series. Using the Follies series as a point of departure, the exhibition suggests a path through contemporary art and modern engravings which relates Goya and twelve of his Follies with twenty-one emblematic artists from the 20th century (José Manuel Broto, Eduardo Arroyo, Günter Grass, Martín Chirino, Luis Feito, Juan Genovés, Manolo Valdés, Luis Caruncho, Andrés Rábago El Roto, José Beulas, Ricardo Calero, Julio León, Alicia Díaz Rinaldi, Darío Villalba, Luis Gordillo, José Hernández, Rafael Canogar, Jaume Plensa, Víctor Mira, Pascual Blanco y Guinovart). All the aforementioned have been taken in and inspired by Goya’s genius to take their work into the field of engraving and etching, underlining it as an artistic technique of the highest level.
