Goya. That’s a creepy [redacted] painting, but given the prevalence of horror movies, probably resonates with a younger modern crowd.
Goya also kinda invented the pinup.
Here she is fully clothed:

Here she is, uh, well, HERE SHE IS:
Paul Johnson, “Art: A New History”, said that, ‘Art is anything that appeals to our sense of the sublime’.
Almost all ‘modern art’ is not art. It is degeneracy.
I have spoken.
That’s it. Saturn eating his own.
We got the Bosch print (small) in the hallway. No Goya.
The Goyas in the Prado are scattered. Boy, that guy had some life.

Most don’t even know the meaning behind that painting...

Thanks. Being a guy & an art aficionado I searched on “Unclothed-Maja” figuring it might be a series.
Warning for the less sophisticated. You don’t want to do that. Instead of Modern Art, I got modern nudity.
No worries, I’ve recovered from the shock. ;-)
While I was looking for the pinup, I noticed his known body of works exceeds 400.
The 19th century painter Bouguereau had at least 822. Even current day hacks who fob stuff off as art don’t necessarily approach that number.

I’ve got Goya, but its the canned food.
I love the Grecos lining the entrance hall of the Prado. It’s religious, ethereal.

For me, you just can’t top a nude on velvet, sorry.
Of course it’s absolutely modern. Why, Henry Winkler is right there in the center operating the air pump.
Thanks

Nothing beats this as Modern Art!..................
