Gallery Talk and Print Viewing
Spanning from the early 1770s to the late 1820s, Francisco Goya’s art career coincided with one of the most turbulent periods in European history.
Taking its point of departure from the title I Saw It given to a print in Goya’s The Disasters of War series, this wide-ranging in-person talk by Andrew Schulz, Vice President for the Arts & Dean of the College of Fine Arts, asks, “What did Goya see, and how did those experiences shape his art?” And also, “What did ‘seeing’ mean to Goya and his European contemporaries?”
The talk will be followed by a special viewing of Goya prints in the UAMA permanent collection.
Trained as an art historian, Andrew Schulz is a leading scholar on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Spanish art. His award-winning research has examined various aspects of the art of Francisco Goya, as well as the role of visual culture in the construction of national and imperial identity, specifically in the Age of Enlightenment and the Romantic era. For the past several years he has been exploring the “afterlife” of Islamic culture in Spain.
