Description

In this episode, we delve into the intriguing world of grotesque art, tracing its origins from the Roman grottoes to its profound impact on modern aesthetics. We explore how what began as whimsical, colorful decorations evolved into a broader artistic expression that encompasses the bizarre, the surreal, and the deeply unsettling. Through discussions on key works like Goya's "Black Paintings," we examine how grotesque art challenges our perceptions and provokes a visceral emotional response. Join us as we uncover the dark beauty and psychological depth of the grotesque in art history.
