Brush
Koji Nakano
About this work:
Beauty, truth, and art. What is the price of compromise? Brush takes a page from Spanish artist Francisco Goya's sketch book. Goya is compelled to be a truthful recorder of his time in history, but needs to avoid the ire of the King. One day, the King's Mistress arrives with dire warnings. Inspired by the mystery of the Maja paintings, Brush is a peek into the mind of an artist and the mire of a court.
