Customer Review:
I was not sure how well the Eyewitness format would serve in a volume focusing on a single artist, such as Goya, as compared to looking at an art movement like Impressionism or an art form like Watercolors, but Patricia Wright makes this tour on the artist and his work quite enjoyable.

Pundits might argue that Mr. Hughes published this book with a commercial-minded orientation in light of the 1992 Summer Olympics. However, if you read it and absorb its calculated research, astounding lexicon and well-balanced content, you will be rewarded with a generous dissertation about the... more info

The book indicates the Altamira paintings date from the Solutrean period of the Paleolithic. Recent radiocarbon dating shows art in the Polychrome Chamber to be between 18,000... more info

I agree with most of what the reader from Buffalo says about this book: "Poorly written, haphazardly organized and indifferently edited, Gaudi is painful to read and does very little to improve ones understanding of the subject."The book IS painful to read, if you love the English language.

This book is really very interesting. The angle the author takes on Goya's works is refreshing as the focus these days tends to be his etchings of war scenes. The text is well written and the paintings are gorgeous. Anyone interested in the story of a painter living in a turbulent time, a man... more info
