DePaul Art Museum Featuring Works of Goya and Chapman Brothers
The power of war images to both shock and numb will be explored in the “Blood and Ink: Disasters of War from Goya to the Chapman Brothers” exhibition running through June 15 at the DePaul University Art Museum. The exhibition is free and open to the public.
During the Napoleonic Wars, which ended in 1815, Francisco Goya etched more than 80 prints that not only depict the brutality of warfare, but also underscore the historical forces that shaped modern Spain. DePaul’s exhibition will include 56 of the “Disasters of War” images. Jake and Dinos Chapman, contemporary British artists influenced by Goya’s legacy, produced their own series of etchings of the same title and similar format. Eleven prints from their series will be shown in the exhibition.
For more information about “Blood and Ink” or other museum programs and exhibitions, please call (773) 325-7506 or visit the DePaul University Art Museum Web site.
