Palladium prints from Los Caprichos: after Goya, an artist's book due out in April (San Francisco: IFSF Publishing, 2020). It's inspired by Francisco Goya's famous album of eighty satirical aquatints, published in 1799.

Los Caprichos means literally: whims. The images are photographed from video source and printed using the platinum-palladium method.

In keeping with the original's mordant commentary, each of the images is printed with a caption --- in Spanish. Some of the captions are direct quotations from the original album. Others are my own.
