In the press

'Sarah Symmons has done a deft job contextualising Goya.' (Independent)

'Symmons uses her deep understanding of Spanish institutions and Goya's contemporaries to illuminate the trajectory of his career. In presenting such a subtle and revealing image, she has done a great service to students and aficionados of Goya alike.' (The Art Book)

'Art & Ideas has broken new ground in making accessible authoritative views on periods, movements and concepts in art. As a series it represents a real advance in publishing.' (Sir Nicholas Serota, Director, Tate London)

'The format is wonderful and offers what had long been missing in academic studies: usable manuals for specific themes or periods...I am definitely not alone in welcoming Art & Ideas as a precious set of teaching tools.' (Joachim Pissarro, Yale University)
