Spanish Artists from the Fourth to the Twentieth Century: A-F
This detailed bibliographical dictionary constitutes a virtual encyclopaedia of the Spanish School, covering artists born in Spain as well as those who worked chiefly in Spain. 16,000 years of Spanish art are documented with consideration paid to each artist's birth and death dates; medium; and bibliographical references. This three-volume work lists approximately 10,000 painters, sculptors, draftsmen, printmakers, architects, and applied artists.
The Spanish Element in Our Nationality”
“The Spanish Element in Our Nationality” delves beneath the traditional “English-only” narrative of U.S. history, using Spain’s participation in a series of international exhibitions to illuminate more fully the close and contested relationship between these two countries. Written histories invariably record the Spanish financing of Columbus’s historic voyage of 1492, but few consider Spain’s continuing influence on the development of U.S. national identity. In this book, M. Elizabeth Boone investigates the reasons for this problematic memory gap by chronicling a series of Spanish displays at international fairs. Studying the exhibition of paintings, the construction of ephemer...
Love, Desire and Identity in the Theatre of Federico García Lorca
Physical desire and metaphysical love in the theatre of Federico García Lorca. A dialectical tension between physical desire and metaphysical love lies at the heart of the theatre works of Federico García Lorca, and the deployment of queer theory's critique of gender and identity is surprisingly effective inthis discussion of love versus desire. Seldom is enough attention paid to the poet's early works, and so this book offers a timely review of the 'religious tragedy' Cristo, as well as Mariana Pineda, uncoveringin these early offerings an explicit proposal of the supremacy of love over desire. A meditation on the fragmentary and challenging El público yields a vivid panorama of identity in crisis, and a paradigmatic Lorcan sacrifice of self for love. The ostensibly more conventional tragedies of Amor de Don Perlimplín con Belisa en su jardín and Yerma are also reassessed in terms of self-sacrifice and self-love. The study concludes with an argument for a practical re-reading of La casa de Bernarda Alba, which emphasises how the play might be saved from po-faced realism with music, humour and drag performance. PAUL McDERMID lectures in Spanish at Queen's University Belfast.
"Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War "
Visual Propaganda, Exhibitions, and the Spanish Civil War is a history of art during wartime that analyzes images in various media that circulated widely and were encountered daily by Spaniards on city walls, in print, and in exhibitions. Tangible elements of the nation?s past?monuments, cultural property, and art-historical icons?were displayed in temporary exhibitions and museums, as well as reproduced on posters and in print media, to rally the population, define national identity, and reinvent distant and recent history. Artists, political-party propagandists, and government administrators believed that images on the street, in print, and in exhibitions would create a community of viewer...
Estudio antropológico de la obra de Álvarez de Sotomayor
Gracias a la relación existente entre literatura y antropología, he sido capaz de aventurarme en un estudio antropológico de la obra de Álvarez de Sotomayor y son numerosas las razones que podemos aducir a favor de ese estudio. Quizás la primera y más importante es, como me apuntaba Pedro Perales Larios , el hecho de que falta un estudio antropológico sobre la obra de este escritor. La segunda razón que podemos aducir es que Álvarez de Sotomayor destaca de entre otros autores almerienses por su producción literaria tan extensa e interesante. Gracias a la admiración que sentía por su tía, María Álvarez de Sotomayor Flores, dedicó parte muy considerable de su tiempo desde la infancia hasta su muerte a las labores intelectuales. Y como botón de muestra fue el hecho de que escribiera sus primeros versos cuando sólo tenía trece años, y que casi le sorprendió la muerte cuando se hallaba realizando la distribución de su último libro.
