Amazon.com description: Product Description:
âLet us agree,â Federico Garcia Lorca wrote, âthat one of manâs most beautiful postures is that of St. Sebastian.â
âIn my âSaint Sebastianâ I remember you,â Salvador Dali replied to Garcia Lorca, referring to the essay on aesthetics that Dali had just written, â. . . and sometimes I think he is you. Letâs see whether Saint Sebastian turns out to be you.â
This exchange is but a glimpse into the complex relationship between two renowned and highly influential twentieth-century artists. On the centennial of Dali's birth, Sebastianâs Arrows presents a never-before-published collection of their letters, lectures, and mementos.
Written between 1925 and 1936, the letters and lectures bring to life a passionate friendship marked by a thoughtful dialogue on aesthetics and the constant interaction between poetry and painting. From their student days in Madrid's Residencia de Estudiantes, where the two waged war against cultural âputrefactionâ and mocked the sacred cows of Spanish art, Dali and Garcia Lorca exchanged thoughts on the act of creation, modernity, and the meaning of their art. The volume chronicles how in their poetic skirmishes they sharpened and shaped each otherâs workâGarcia Lorca defending his verses of absence and elegy and his love of tradition while Dali argued for his theories of âClarityâ and âHoly Objectivityâ and the unsettling logic of Surrealism.
Christopher Maurerâs masterful prologue and selection of letters, texts, and images (many generously provided by the Fundacion Gala-Salvador Dali and Fundacion Federico Garcia Lorca), offer compelling and intimate insights into the lives and work of two iconic artists. The two men had a âtragic, passionate relationship,â Dali once wroteâa friendship pierced by the arrows of Saint Sebastian.
