ITHACA, NY.- The Herbert F. Johnson Museum of Art at Cornell University presents two new exhibitions beginning Saturday, April 2.

Social satirist, bullfighting enthusiast, chronicler of Napoleon's atrocities, precursor of modernism—Francisco Goya (1746-1828) lent his fertile and often wicked imagination to the many prints he produced during his lifetime. Satire, Shock, and Superstition: The Nightmarish Vision of Francisco Goya features works from all of Goya's most famous series of etchings, Los Caprichos, The Disasters of War, and Los Proverbios, permitting visitors to compare the outrage or humor the artist brought to each, from April 2 to June 5.

The Impressionists inspired a generation of American artists interested in the play of shadow and light, with varied and innovative results. Light and Shadow: American Modernist Paintings and Drawings will highlight one of strengths of the Johnson Museum's collections: paintings, drawings, and watercolors from the first part of the twentieth century by artists such as John Marin, William Zorach, Edward Hopper, and Arthur Dove as well as new acquisitions by Jane Peterson, George Luks, Cecilia Beaux, Maurice Prendergast, and many others, from April 2 to July 31.

The Johnson Museum has a permanent collection of over 30,000 works of art from Africa, Asia, Europe, and North and South America. The museum building was designed by I. M. Pei. Funds for the building were donated by Cornell alumnus Herbert F. Johnson, late president and chairman of S C Johnson. The building opened in 1973.
