"Exploring the Depths of Caprice: A Journey through Art and Satire" Step into a world where art meets satire, as we delve into the captivating realm of caprice. From Goya's iconic Los Caprichos series to thought-provoking modern pieces, these artworks offer glimpses into the unpredictable nature of human folly. In "Aguarda Que Te Unten, " Goya's etching & aquatint plate from Los Caprichos (1799), he exposes society's tendency to smear one another with gossip and deceit. The intricate details reveal a web of manipulation that resonates even today. Fast forward to 1877, where an etching, aquatint & drypoint piece titled "Disparate de tontos (Fool's folly)" showcases how foolishness can lead us astray. With whimsical characters and absurd situations, this artwork reminds us not to take ourselves too seriously. Glimpsing at "Lo Mismo (The Same)" from 1863, we witness the monotony of life portrayed through etching, drypoint, burnishing & burin techniques. It serves as a reminder that sometimes our routines can become stifling if we don't embrace change. Switching gears to more contemporary works like "Fall / Dobermann / 1956, " we encounter caprice in unexpected places – here embodied by a playful dog caught mid-air. This photograph captures the essence of spontaneity and living in the moment. Returning to Goya's masterpieces, "No Hay Quien Los Socorra (There is no one to help them)" depicts societal indifference towards suffering individuals using etching, aquatint, burnishing & burin methods. It serves as a stark reminder that compassion should never be overlooked or forgotten. "The Dream of Reason Produces Monsters" transports us back to Goya’s era with its haunting imagery created through etching & aquatint.
