«Las risas del arte» is Carlos Reyero Hermosilla's essay on art history, published by Cátedra in paperback (288 pages).
Carlos Reyero traces laughter in Western art, especially in painting, from the Renaissance to the early twentieth century. Laughter is social criticism and a challenge to power, and a reflection of cultural tensions. The essay covers political satire, parody, carnival, role reversal, kitsch and scatological and sexual humour.
Published in the Grandes Temas collection by Ediciones Cátedra on 19 February 2026.
For readers interested in art history, painting and humour as cultural expression and a form of social criticism.
