Both Francisco de Goya and Pablo Picasso exercised a profound influence on the development of the techniques, forms and meaning of modern art. They also confronted modernity’s monsters and produced works that offer reflections on the relationship between social issues, war, their effects on modern society and artistic forms. This course will examine the parallels between their work and the way their artistic creations help to shape our visions of the modern world.
