| | 1. |  | Black Paintings of Goya
from Scala Publishers
Price: $16.47
Customer Review:
I haven't bought this book, but I saw the paintings this week. Really affected me. So...black. Most of the subjects in the paintings have grotesque faces that are merely smudges of black, grey and silver, as if they were gargoyles that had been burned alive. With subjects sometimes grouped together,... more info

| | 3. |  | Goya
from Knopf
Price: $19.77
Customer Review:
While I learned much from Hughes' opus, at book's end I was still left with the same nagging question I had at the beginning: But with the exception of his "Disasters of War," for which the answer is obvious, why is Goya's art still attracting so much attention today? I subsequently found the answer... more info

| | 4. |  | Old Man Goya
Price: $6.99
Customer Review:
If you want dry history and biography, go elsewhere. Blackburn's talent is in immersing herself in a very personal and empathetic way in the world of Goya. I started Blackburn's The Book of Colour years ago, but dropped it quickly - her style annoyed me then but now I see that she hadn't yet found... more info

| | 5. |  | Goya
from Abbeville Press
Price: $64.30
Customer Review:
I have always loved Goya, so buying unseen off the internet was less of a risk. The book is a bit oversized without the advantage this often gives, as the layout leaves a lot to be desired, and visually, this has the feel of a mass market book. However, the paintings are stunning and reasonably... more info

| | 9. |  | Francisco Goya: Life and Times
from Counterpoint
Price: $12.44
Customer Review:
This is an incredibly well-weaved story. True - more an account of the historical period than a biography, but not at all a drab writing stuffed with facts. Every fact is given with Goya in mind, every anecdote or a side-step is relevant in order for the reader to feel the air that Goya breathed,... more info

| | 10. |  | Francisco Goya y Lucientes : 1746-1828
from Phaidon Press
Price: $31.16
Customer Review:
This was my introduction to Goya. The great thing about this book (and about all the books in Phaidon's Art & Ideas Series) is that it does an excellent job of putting the artist in historical context. I think this is important, because Goya (like David in France) really is inseparable from his... more info
