"Idea if what we are suddenly changes"
Matthew Collings explored the works of both David the French painter and Goya the Spanish painter. Neither of these painters met during their lives but have significant and similar impacts to the world around them. David's paintings showed us how to feel to be better people, inner nobility. Goya did not show the best of us, but the worst of us.
The film focused on Matthew Collings feelings about the paintings and painters, him moving about museums and cities, well lite and full of his dramatic tone. He really did try to make his voice dramatic and suspenseful, a bit intriguing haha. Similar to the next two films I will be discussing this film provides the background of both Goya and David. I want to focus on their similaries and I can break them down seperately in the next two post.
The feelings portion of the film informed us that both painters were radicals and wanted to move forward into the future for their country. It was the time of the enlightenment. The next segment of the film explores Civilization and the thought of change for the commoners. David and Goya illustrated that change in their art work.
David - Oath of the Tennis Court, 1789
Goya - Charles IV of Spain and His Family
