Insult to Injury by Jake and Dinos Chapman

Michael Mack 2003.
First edition & first printing.

Oblong hardcover with black leatherette coverd boads , title blind stamped on front cover, no dust jacket as issued.

176 pages with 80 plates.

The Chapmans meticulously « rectified » the Goya’s prints, drawing on top of what must be the most revered set of prints in existence. The artists superimposed cartoon faces, either those of clowns or puppies, onto figures Goya had intended as allegories of human suffering.

In making the book ,the 80 reproductions were made directly from the embellished Goya prints themselves.

This means an unprecedented print quality for the images,which are reproduced at the actual size, and in four colours.

The plates are complemented by a previously unpublished text by Jake Chapman.
