binding: mottled calf, gilt tooled with a green panel on spine lettered: CAPRICH DE GOYA; endpapers: contemporary Spanish marbled papers Francisco Goya’s series Los Caprichos contains layers of meaning that even today challenge the modern viewer. Mia’s copy is a rare presentation proof containing early printings of all eighty images. In the first half, Goya explored themes of superstition, sensuality, greed, and violence with scenes set in Spanish brothels, salons, and prisons. The second half is given over to fantastic images from the artist’s dreams and nightmares. Even though Goya tried to disguise his attacks on Spanish society, he withdrew the set from sale because he had been reported to the Inquisition, a tribunal that ruled with lethal authority.

To say this for the 50th time, for anyone who doesn't know:

Three young conservative lawyers were part of the GOP "Florida recount" team that led to GWB becoming president, via Bush-v-Gore.

They were: John Roberts. Brett Kavanaugh. Amy Coney Barrett.

Small world.

Ace of Clubs and Four of Diamonds https://www.wikiart.org/en/juan-gris/ace-of-clubs-and-four-of-diamonds
"Juan Gris' 'Ace of Clubs and Four of Diamonds' exemplifies his mastery of Cubism through geometric fragmentation and abstraction. The composition includes playing cards, layered textures, and muted colors, creating a harmonious blend of forms and space."

The artwork exemplifies Varo's signature surrealist style, integrating esoteric and mystical themes to explore the transcendence of the human spirit.
