"The name of Jonathan Brown is inexorably linked to Diego Velázquez and this solid and popular work for years sometimes overshadows other interests of the author, ranging from collecting to keen appreciations of El Greco or Murillo; the study of the changes in the history of the mentalities that the arrival to the "New World" entails; the relations between Spanish and American production in colonial times and the many implications of this change for patronage itself. But Brown has also written about Goya, about Picasso, about the painting of those other new great masters. The present volume, "Not only Velázquez", thus attempts to present the author's production beyond the baroque painter, to bring together other essential themes in the fertile intellectual discourse of Jonathan Brown. With his concise and elegant style, he questions the paintings determinedly, without ever losing sight of the object and, at the same time, he wonders about the paintings themselves and his traces as changes in the world."--Amazon, translated.
