NOTES
Enrique Chagoya produced a handful of prints over a decade in conversation with the work of the Spanish artist Francisco Goya. Chagoya emulated Goya's achievements as an etcher and appropriated his compositions. However, he transformed them with his own commentaries on the dangers and evils of today’s world, in spheres ranging from contemporary art to nuclear war. In Goya meets Posada, a print entirely of Chagoya’s invention, he introduced two of his most-admired predecessors—Goya and José Guadalupe Posada. With his own playfulness, Chagoya renews their investments in the power of art to shine light in dark places.
