EDITORS COMMENTS
A Way of Flying, 1819-1823" is a captivating print by the renowned Spanish artist Francisco Goya. This artwork belongs to his series called Proverbs, also known as "Disparates" or "Suenos" which was published in 1864. Goya's creation is seen as a symbolic representation of the absurdity that encompasses human existence. In Plate 13, we witness a group of male figures standing outside under the night sky. Amidst them stands a winged figure, defying gravity and challenging our perception of reality. The etching portrays an otherworldly scene where dreams and imagination take flight. Goya's work delves into profound concepts such as the power of evil, lies, hypocrisy, and ultimately confronts us with the inevitable triumph of age, pain, and death. Through this monochrome masterpiece set in 19th-century Spain, he invites us to reflect on the complexities of life itself. The artist skillfully employs caricature techniques to emphasize certain traits within each character while maintaining an overall sense of unity within the composition. The stark contrast between light and shadow enhances both drama and mystery. This print serves as a reminder that art has always been a powerful medium for exploring philosophical ideas beyond its aesthetic appeal. Goya's unique vision challenges viewers to question their own understanding of reality while contemplating mankind's place in an unpredictable world.
