This piece encourages us to reflect on what would happen to goya’s work if he had lived in the 21st century. Goya, as an author who shows social concerns in his work, talks about political torture, deprivation and injustice.
This work is the stage of Goya, in which censorship withdraws his work from the world, for the simple condition of representing a naked body.”Goya in the S.XXI” aims to make a critique of today’s society and the censorship that still today, forbids us from exhibiting art in today’s biggest escape: social media.
The author of this work, feels very identified with this type of public censorship. Cristina Jobs’ social networks constantly suffer blockages and censorship, for the sole reason of wanting to show their art, without covering it, without modesty, without fear, art as such. Just art.
If Goya lived in the 21st century, would his work, by the supposedly moralistic wave, of the great showcase, as it was in 1800, have been censored? The answer is yes.
The author invites you to observe the work and think: what has the perspective of today’s society evolved? Do we accept that they censor images of works related to the naked human body, but if it belongs to the woman? Does the plastic artist face the freedom to create and show his work in the 21st century?
The author is inclined to think that ”perhaps what may be dirty is the look, not the work”
