Book Reviews of Goya
Book Review: An Absolute Must Have for Art Fans
Summary: 5 Stars
I needed a good picture of The Executions of May 3rd, which I was painting for a class. I had no idea which art book to buy, but finally selected Professor Licht's book hoping to get a good picture out of it for my painting. The executions reproduction takes up two pages, but that is of no importance.
Other art students may agree that many art history books tend to be tedious reading. Professor Licht is not only a great art historian, he can actually write, and gives us deep insight into Goya, a painter he has clearly sought to understand. The quality of the reproductions is excellent, and the scholarship and brilliance of the author was more than I could have hoped.
I started reading the book immediately upon receiving it, and couldn't put it down. It reads like an engrossing novel, and gives us Goya in depth, a man who worked out his devils and convictions on canvas. Of course Goya was a genius whose works transcend time. However, Professor Licht helped me to understand Goya and his works in a cultural context and his ties to his predecessors, contemporaries, and modern artists. I was deeply moved by this book, and I know you will be too.
