Line of Light and Shadow-P Tapa blanda - 1991

Translation, by Christopher Maurer, of Dibujos, 1987. "Praised by Joan Miró and by Salvador Dalí, the drawings of García Lorca have long been unavailable, and have received less attention than his poems and plays. This is the first scholarly study in English of all of the poet's graphic works. Done between 1923 and 1936, Lorca's renderings of clowns, Spanish ladies, martyrs and saints, gypsies, sailors, and his haunting series of self-portraits cast new light on the rest of his work." Soft Cover. 273 pages, 117 illustrations (some color); 30.5 x 31 cm. Very Good in VG pictorial dust jacket. Stock#45339/h.

Assimilating themes and motifs from Dalf, Miro, Picabia and Picasso, Lorca's graphic works include self-portraits, abstract sketches, still lifes, doodles and drawings of sailors, Andalusian gypsies and Spanish ladies. In a series of essays, Mario Hernandez comments on different themes in the drawings, showing how they serve as an indispensable aid to the interpretation of Lorca's lyrical world.
