Goya is a magnetic artist. Both his devotees and the average art viewer understands the genius of his technique and the awful humanity of the subject matter. A portion of the esteem he is held in can be traced back to Von Loga. The head of the main Berlin art museum in the Wilhelmine epoch in Germany [The last Kaiser and his immediate predecessor] he became a leading specialist in Spanish art, and of Goya especially. His research on Goya included the revelation of unknown details and documentation, which helped clarify the picture of the artist and his times. This in turn led to a greater appreciation of the art and its context. While these kinds of advances are made all the time in the art world, Von Loga’s research and insights was so strong that this book has been reprinted many times, including as a Taschen volume.
Condition: Fair to good. This is the original first edition. Ragged edges on the cover and loose binding. But all plates are present and in Good condition. The text is in German only.
