Los Caprichos / after Goya

By Sheila Newbery

Literary Nonfiction. Art. Photography. Epigraph by Ra l Quintanilla Armijo. Interview with the artist by Larissa Archer. LOS CAPRICHOS: AFTER GOYA is an artist's book of palladium prints inspired by Francisco Goya's album of the same name, a series of eighty aquatint etchings he offered for sale directly to the Madrid public in 1799. Goya conceived of his images as a series of suen s--dreams--through which he could explore the foibles
of his world with barbed impunity. This collection takes up the artist's mordant spirit with a photographic (and digital) twist: Newbery turns the lens on the phosphorescent dreamscapes that flow through our sundry devices, drawing pointed connections between our photographic life, miniaturized and ubiquitous, and its deeper roots in Western printmaking.
