I visited Mr. Goya and his “Black Paintings” today, along with Mr. Bosch, Mr. Caravaggio, Mr. Greco, Mr. Velazquez, and Mr. Rubens. ART=EMOTION. It’s hard to see Goya works in person and not scream in terror or shed tears of sorrow. To see “Saturn” again, to see “Fight With Cudgels,” it was breathtaking. Truly terrifying masterpieces. As for turning the corner and having “Garden of Earthly Delights” open up in front of you, or “Las Meninas” staring you down at the end of a corridor, getting bigger and bigger as you slowly pace towards it…well, let’s just say I had a good time.
