Important Historical Examples
of Fantasy Art : Goya's One Way to Fly |
|||
|
|||
 |
|||
One Way to Fly Francisco Goya This print was made while Goya made the Proverbs series, between 1815 and 1820. He had written a number of titles on the proofs of these prints which read 'disparate,' meaning absurdity or folly. The man here trying to fly by attaching himself to large wings with string and rope is foolish. He wears a head dress that looks like a dodo bird's head, not a smart or elegant bird. Goya must be judging some of man's attempts to do what he isn't equipped to do as foolish. The print exemplifies Goya's talent for beautiful composition and his imagination for fantasy and human drama.
