"Whims". "Whims". Collection of 80 prints engraved in etching, aquatint, drypoint and burin. Chalcography from the San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts, between 1890 and 1900. Sixth edition printed on strong, absorbent paper, with very dark ocher ink and according to Tomas Harris, limited to 230 copies. Paper size: 335 x 240 mm. enc. in a vol., hi. with ribs on the spine, and cloth planes ed. labeled in gold on the ant. In this series, Goya performs a critical satire on the vices and absurdities of human conduct. Simplifying the series, they can be grouped around four major themes: the first deals with the deception of relationships between a man and a woman; the second is a satire on rudeness and ignorance, false beliefs and superstitions; the third condemns the vices of society, such as gluttony, laziness, lust or greed; and the fourth is a criticism of abuses of power. Los Caprichos became the symbol of the Goyesco and conveyed a new way of facing reality, presenting it closer and more expressive, with a fresher language, which the artists of the s would echo. XIX. 33x24
