This review is from: Goya: The Phantasmal Vision (Hardcover)

I'm aware of only one other book, now decades out of print, that does equivalent justice to Goya's stunning, apocalyptic final visions. Even the current big, ritzy Goya monographs can't touch the top-quality reproductions that this book offers, printed as they are on a curious matt paper, thin and oddly textured, but affording an excellent impression of the painterly quality of these impasto nightmares. The author's text and various 'poetic' contributions are B-grade, but not to worry; this is not a book to read but to LOOK AT and be transported by, into a dream that, while exhilarating, one is releived to wake from. Hang the expense! If you love Goya, you must have this startling book.
