Fear and Folly: The Visionary Prints of Francisco Goya and Federico Castellon

 

Though separated by about 150 years, Francisco Goya (1746-1828) and Federico Castellon (1914-1971) often appear closer to one another than to their contemporaries, as they both turned their attention to the human condition. In this exhibition, the artists were represented by important print series from the Kalamazoo Institute of Arts’ permanent collection: Castellon's lithographs for Edgar Allen Poe's The Masque of the Red Death and Goya's etchings from Los Disparates (or The Proverbs).
