Legend.
Erudite, witty, protean with a excellent turn of phrase and a genuine love of his subject.

I'm impressed by how much of his documentary he is able to repeat word for word

[EyeLean]

Thank you for sharing this! Although I haven't always agreed with Hughes, I've always loved and admired his passion, eloquence and erudition. He is missed.

The execution painting's most obvious analogy is the peasant's cruciform posture and white shirt portraying Christ.

Excellent artist glad my husband always talks to me about artists from way back in those days.

Hughes was the perfect Art crtic:

Ridiculously pompous.

But, Bob knew his shit.

I give him that.

R.I.P. you old soak!

Arms up!...took me awhile to note the lantern...what happened the 2nd of May too...Goya is over the top...too much...like anatomy illustrations...grim fascinations...😕

I THOUGHT HE WAS WILLIAM SHANTNER? CAPTAIN

[mothratemporalradio]

is he Australian? Sounds heaps like it.

[kingsleysaxon]

Goya should have been in Beethoven's shoes and pondered deafness. And of course Titian surviving several Plague epidemics to live to almost 100. These greats make Goya seem fairly average.

[bed-of-roses]

Goya does not cut barriers of class and communication. Bullshit.
