Paintings and drawings
A 1916 New York catalogue of paintings and drawings published by the Hispanic Society of America, compiled with William Starkweather and centred on the work of Francisco Goya. The pictures are numbered plates of sketchy ink or wash figure studies, mostly single standing or crouching people on plain grounds. A designer could take from them the loose gestural line, heavy black shadow masses and caricatured postures of Goya's etching-like draughtsmanship.
