Goya : Disasters of War

I dreamt last night that I was to watch 6 videos about the artist Goya. I woke up remembering the name, but not able to place the artist. So I looked him up and connected it to the work of Jake and Dinos Chapman.

But the weird thing is that tonight I was watching the Terry Zwigoff documentary of Crumb, and there was a Goya reference in it. I find that just a wee bit odd, an artist I’ve never even spent more than a moments thought on, is suddenly all over the place? In the same day? I’ve been looking at the work to try and figure out if it means anything. I dunno, pretty bizarro.
