Description
An assault unfolds in Nor Do These, placing another human encounter within the violence of Goya’s Disasters of War. The title links the scene to events elsewhere in the series, giving the harm a disturbing sense of repetition. Its terse wording makes the image feel like an additional testimony whose consequences must be recognized anew.
In the Disasters of War, Goya uses the compact print format to keep the consequences of conflict close to individual experience. Etching and burin make the encounter tangible through worked line, while the title connects it to the suffering represented elsewhere in the series. The image’s force lies in this accumulating attention, asking the viewer to recognize another scene without allowing its resemblance to others to diminish its human importance.
