| Description |
An examination of the narrative, poetry, film, songs, photography and graphic art generated by Spaniards and foreigners about the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) in the seventy years since the war was fought. This cultural production will be examined in the context of the political and ideological reasons that explain the international attraction the war generated. Among the works examined: poems by Neruda; Picasso's Guernica (it was the first war in which aviation played a significant role); documentaries (The Spanish Earth, Mourir a Madrid); and photographs by Robert Capa (the Spanish Civil War consecrated the nascent art of photojournalism). |
