Lo cierto es que las connotaciones son diferentes: en el caso de La maja desnuda los censores pertenecian al siniestro bando del fascismo (de cuya identificacion con el mal no cabe hoy duda alguna), y en este otro se trata de una reivindicacion amparada en la defensa de las victimas de los abusos sexuales (que es, mas alla de toda duda, una buena causa).

Most people, however, associate with two paintings by Goya that now hang in the Prado: the Maja Desnuda and the Maja Vestida that supposedly depict the 13th Duchess of Alba clothed and nudebut that is another story altogether.

The Duchess of Alba

La Maja Desnuda is his most amusing and at the same time sensual type of painting,' observes Condo.

In Condo's Maja Desnuda Goya's chaise longue entirely disappears, but its green colour emerges in the surprising green fingers of the reclining figure's right hand which creep across her hip.

A painterly language: George Condo's approach to painting is underpinned by his love of Old Master works. Not content to simply adopt a painterly language of the past, the artist imbues his appropriations with a tragicomic absurdity to reveal his vision of humanity

A year later, the National Gallery in London hosted a special exhibition of Goya's Maja desnuda and Maja vestida.

Significant also is his inclusion of actual framed reproductions of the paintings to which Manet's Olympia alludes: Titian's Venus of Urbino (1538), Goya's Maja Desnuda (1800), and Cabanel's The Birth of Venus (1863).

Y otros poemas en prosa

More popular novels--La maja desnuda (1906; Woman Triumphant), Sangre y arena (1908; Blood and Sand), Los cuatro jinetes del Apocalipsis (1916; The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse), and others--brought him fame but cost him critical approval because of their sensational nature.

At the turn of the 18th century, Francisco Goya painted "La maja desnuda," depicting a naked woman reclining on a bed, facing and boldly staring at the viewer.

En el sotano estaban tambien los reinos de mi abuelo Humberto (en el centro su Autorretrato de 1934): su estudio de pintura y el cuarto oscuro, a los que estaba prohibido entrar, y la carpinteria entapetada de virutas donde fabricaba muebles, objetos inauditos--el tortillamatic, la sadica acuaratonera--y unos rompecabezas laboriosos cuyas piezas tenian la forma de su representacion: las tetas de La maja desnuda, por ejemplo, eran dos rueditas, cada una ilustrada con su respectiva esfera.

Perdido en el sotano

One of the exhibition's many pleasures is the juxtaposition of Goya's Maja desnuda from the Prado, never before seen outside Spain, with Ingres's Odalisque en grisaille from the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York), no less exquisite than the familiar colour version, or Manet's Olympia with a number of Picasso's reclining nudes from his later years.

El profesor llega a relacionarse con varias mujeres entre las cuales se destacan Ruth, quien acompana al profesor al Museo del Prado para contemplar La maja desnuda de Goya, y Herminia, quien aparece (tanto en persona como en una representacion) en una exposicion de carteles publicitarios con figuras desnudas.
