Lives & works in Tokyo, Japan

“Censoring human errors and vices- although it seems the preserve of oratory and poetry- may also be a worthy object of painting. As a subject appropriate to his work, he has selected from the multitude of stupidities and errors common to every civil society, and from the ordinary obfuscations and lies condoned by custom, ignorance, or self- interest, those he has deemed most fit to furnish material for ridicule, and at the same time to exercise the author’s imagination.”
Francisco Goya Lucientes (1746-1828)
