Item Description

Use these 4 VIP passes and see the largest Goya exhibition in North America in a quarter century, "Goya: Order and Disorder" is on view only at the MFA.

One of the titans of European art, Francisco Goya (1746-1828) witnessed a time of revolution and sweeping change in thought and behavior. As 18th-century culture gave way to the modern era, Goya's penetrating gaze sought new means to capture human experience, both as he observed it, and as his imagination and artistic gifts transformed it.

"Goya: Order and Disorder" takes an innovative approach, organizing the extreme variety of the artist¿s output thematically. The exhibition employs the poles of order and disorder to structure Goya's creativity, moving from dignified portraits and daily rituals to the chaos of war and the pandemonium of the Bordeaux bull ring. Goya also attended to the fertile territory between the competing forces of order and disorder. In some works, either harmony or chaos prevails, but most exhibit a disquieting tension between these opposites.

To comprehend the artist's boundless creativity, "Goya: Order and Disorder" is divided into eight major sections. These address such themes as the nurturing and abuse of children; hunting as sport and metaphor; religious devotion and superstition; equilibrium and loss of balance; justice gone awry; and the symbolism of the giant. This framework enables the visitor to perceive connections across media and time that the artist himself made.
