I was very lucky to go to a school which specialised in art, but also offered a grammar education too. That was back in the sixties, in Birmingham.
We learned etching, hands-on, and I sought inspiration wherever I could. Finding Dover books was very useful for that purpose, because they gave me a comprehensive look at the work of various artists. The quality of their reproductions and clarity of paper and text was unerringly good. The Goya books, in particular, I found most excellent, but I long lost access to them. Imagine my delight at being able to get them again from Amazon, a great service!

Goya was an amazing Enlightenment artist.
5 Jun 2008
Format:Paperback
With pluck, wit, and a sense for the grotesque, Goya took on the fascists and theocons of Inquisition-era Spain in splended engravings that remind me of William Blake, if Blake were a ticked-off malcontent. There is nothing fancy about this book--the reproductions and paper quality are merely serviceable--but the artistry of Goya leaps off the page, and for me this is not the kind of artwork just to admire once through, but a series of images I go back to over and again, finding something new to smile about or nod at each time.
