Modern art begins with Goya. He was the first to create works of
art for their own sake, and he lived in a time of incredible
cultural and social dynamism when the old concepts of social
hierarchy were being shaken by the new concept of equality for all.
He saw his world ripped apart by Napoleon's armies and then
suffered the reactionary backlash as the old order was restored.
Against this epic canvas, Goya painted his own observations of
humanity, transforming his youthful images of gaily dancing
peasants into his mature penetrating studies of human suffering,
despair, perseverance and redemption. Goya's art rises above the
chaos of his times, and signals the real revolution of personal
expression and independent spirit that would be the generative
force behind the modernist movement in art.
