Yet he continued to interact with the world and to create, spending the next thirty-five years in a world emptied of sound but bursting with images of pageantry, cruelty, and pathos.In this brilliant, idiosyncratic book - a kaleidoscope of biography, memoir, history, and meditation - Julia Blackburn vividly imagines the artists world during this time. She recreates the artists friendships and love affairs and breathes life into the subjects of his paintings: an ethereally lovely duchess; the spoiled grotesques of the Bourbon court; the atrocities of the Napoleonic wars. Old Man Goya is a rare work of empathy and imagination, a stunning portrait of the mind and life of a great artist.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51819293835552,"sku":"NEW0375705791","price":22.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61Caw9aQCFL.jpg?v=1781129519","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/old-man-goya-0375705791","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
