The Bohdan and Varvara Chanenkas National Museum of Art presents Francisco Goya's famous series of etchings "Caprichos" and "Horrors of War". Today, these too open works are perceived as particularly relevant. The artist showed that evil must be stopped, even if it seems innocent, and depicted war as the worst evil. The main theme of the Caprichos series is the evil that controls humanity by constantly changing its appearance. Cruelty breeds more cruelty, depravity destroys all those who come close to it, and judges become no better than the judged. In his first sheets, Goya depicted the mask, an 18th-century artistic attribute that was meant to create a sense of light play, of fun and mystery. But in Capriccio, the masquerade is not a celebration, but a complete lie, a triumphant vice, a barely disguised evil. The second part of the cycle features the vile representatives of the devilish world. Some of them embody real human vices, while others have no real-life prototypes that convey the idea of universal evil. The end of the cycle is ambiguous. At dawn the demons turn into human beings, but the fears of another night do not disappear. It is hard to imagine that their world will be pleasant and just. The Pranas Domšaitis Gallery (Liepų g. 33, Klaipėda) will be open until 23 June.
