"Humour can be a powerful weapon against evil. During a turbulent time in world history, the Spanish artist Francisco Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) and the British artist James Gillray (1756-1815) exposed and ridiculed the social and political ills of their respective countries. Around the same time in England, Gillray created caricatures that are large, witty and brightly coloured. This Goya and Gillray exhibition explores the uncanny similarities and striking differences between two leading satirists and highly innovative printmakers." - Ago.net
