Reviews
Great book about Los Caprichos of Goya. Brings nice information about the artistic context, neoclassicism, and presents a new approach that focus on body distortions as symbolic references to shadow aspects of Spanish society.Nice explorations of some images, good insights about their meanings.A must have to the Caprichos lovers.Cristina Nunes
