Defacing Goya Or “Rectifying” Him?

Artists known as the Chapman brothers have “drawn demonic clown and puppy heads on each of the victims” on a rare set of prints of Goya’s apocalyptic “Disasters of War”. “Some experts believe that what the brothers call their ‘rectification’ of the prints is a fresh spin for the Manga generation. Others do not. Robert Hughes: Goya “will obviously survive these twerps, whose names will be forgotten a few years from now … Maybe it’s time they put Mickey Mouse heads on the Sistine Chapel.”
