| When I learned that Goya did a painting called "The Burial of the Sardine", I had no option but to create one of my own. I was riding up the California coast on the train, reading André Malraux's The Voices of Silence", no picture, just the title. I made a quick sketch of the Sardine. Later when I finally did see Goya's version, I borrowed his colors and greatly modified his composition. For Goya, the "Burial of the Sardine" was a Spanish celebration that marks the end of festivities before the 40 days of Lent. My version is more literal. They all seem so anguished by the death, only the sardine is gleeful. |
