Recovering Spain’s Cultural Modernity
摘要
Another pillar of the renewed post-dictatorial collective identity was the cultural heritage of the 1930s, especially of those artists associated with the Generation of ’27 who became victims of the national front and the dictatorship and were either killed or forced into exile. Names such as Antonio Machado, Miguel Hernández and Federico García Lorca, doomed to oblivion in Spain for almost forty years, once again appeared on the streets of Madrid, this time immortalised in stone and bronze. This chapter is dedicated to those memorials, analysing how these artists were integrated into Tierno Galván’s programme of cultural renewal in Madrid.
