The National Arts Club and its Office of Fine Arts presents a rare series of sketches, Los Caprichos, from the Spanish Master Francisco de Goya. The free exhibition, titled Francisco de Goya y Lucientes: Los Caprichos will feature a reception, open to the public on Thursday January 8th from 6pm – 8pm.

The National Art's Club were gifted the sketches by Robert Henri's last surviving heir in 1994. However, the gift was stored in an anonymous volume, causing the collection to remain undiscovered within the Robert Henri Library at the Club until this winter, when an archivist located them.

Goya is regarded as the last of the Old Masters and simultaneously the first of the Moderns due to his wide range of work and in the late 18th century his work took a dramatic turn and he took an experimental route with Los Caprichos, a bitterly expressive 80-strong series of aquatinted etchings, were created in this time. The visions are dark and macabre, and yet when explained through his captions they do not seem bleak, but provide humor and demonstrate the artist's sharp wit.

The exhibition marks the first installment of the Offices of Fine Arts Winter 2015 program, under the direction of Dianne B. Bernard, and will provide a stunning compliment to prior significant exhibitions, from 2014's record breaking 'Charles James: Beneath the Dress,' to Rembrandt, Picasso, Munch and Romare Bearden.

The free month-long exhibition will reintroduce the American art lover to these masters with a finely curated show from The Office of Fine Arts at The National Art's Club.
