Kommentar: “Illustrated with full colour representation of the paintings, X-rays and many vivid details, this volume is the only book on The Black Paintings available in the English language. A controversial narrative gives new interpretations of the artist´s intention behind these works. It also illustrates some of the problems surrounding the early history of the rooms in which The Black Paintings were displayed, and shows how during this period Goya´s work anticipated Surrealism and other aspects of twentieth-century artistic vision.
