Goya in the Norton Simon Museum
No Customer Reviews
During his lifetime, the industrialist and collector Norton Simon (1907-1993) amassed a trove of European paintings, drawings, and prints by Rembrandt, Picasso, Degas, and others. Simon occasionally became fascinated with a particular artist's oeuvre, and that passion inspired him to assemble monographic holdings of work by several masters, chief among them Francisco de Goya (1746-1828).
This book is the first to examine the extraordinary Goya collection--which includes more than 1,400 prints, a drawing, and three paintings--in the founder's namesake museum. Simon's enduring interest in serial images led him to acquire prints from various series and editions treating a range of subjects, such as religious iconography, landscapes, portraits, and social satire. Spotlighting rare proofs and single prints, the catalogue also presents a complete set each of Los Caprichos, Disasters of War, and other seminal series. Lushly illustrated and authored by a distinguished Goya scholar, this catalogue is an essential guide to a treasure trove of the artist's works.Distributed for the Norton Simon Art Foundation
