Print, Modo de Volar (A Way of Flying), plate 13 in Disparates (Proverbs)
This is a Print. It was print maker: Francisco Goya (De Goya y Lucientes). It is dated 1865–66 and we acquired it in 1951. Its medium is aquatint and etching on white wove paper. It is a part of the Drawings, Prints, and Graphic Design department.
Wings can symbolize speed, spirituality, justice, heaven, divinity, and protection. While Goya's creatures with bird masks and man-made wings are an exercise in the grotesque, they also provide a counterpoint to the fantastical Persian illustrations to the right. All three works are hybrid in character, carrying forth an imagined extension to the human form.
