EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Neither more or less, 1799" captures an intriguing artwork by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya. This piece belongs to a series called Los Caprichos, which was published during a time of social repression and economic crisis in Spain in 1799. Goya's political liberalism and disdain for ignorance and intellectual oppression are evident throughout this collection. In this particular image, we see a satirical scene depicted in black and white. A monkey sits on an easel holding a palette while a donkey stands beside it, both seemingly engrossed in their artistic pursuits. The mule-like figure appears perplexed as it gazes at the monkey's work with an expression that reflects stupidity or bewilderment. Goya's use of caricature and etching techniques adds depth to his critique of society during the 18th century. Through this composition, he cleverly conveys his revulsion towards ignorance by juxtaposing animals engaging in human activities within an interior country setting. The monochrome aesthetic emphasizes the stark contrast between light and shadow, enhancing the overall impact of satire conveyed through this artwork. As viewers delve into Goya's world captured on paper, they are invited to reflect upon societal issues that plagued Spain at that time while appreciating his mastery as an artist. This print serves as a testament to Goya's enduring legacy as one of history's most influential artists who fearlessly used his craft to challenge prevailing norms and shed light on pressing social concerns.
