Federico García Lorca
Spanish poet, dramatist and theatre director (1898–1936)
For the statue, see Monument to Federico García Lorca. For the poems by Radnóti and Kavvadias, see Works related to Federico García Lorca § Poetry.
In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is García and the second or maternal family name is Lorca. However, the playwright is usually known, unusually, by his maternal surname Lorca.
Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca (5 June 1898 – 19 August 1936) was a Spanish poet, playwright, and theatre director. García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27, a group consisting mostly of poets who introduced the tenets of European movements (such as symbolism, futurism, and surrealism) into Spanish literature.
He initially rose to fame with Romancero gitano (Gypsy Ballads, 1928), a book of poems depicting life in his native Andalusia. His poetry incorporated traditional Andalusian motifs and avant-garde styles. After a sojourn in New York City from 1929 to 1930—documented posthumously in Poeta en Nueva York (Poet in New York, 1942)—he returned to Spain and wrote his best-known plays, Blood Wedding (1932), Yerma (1934), and The House of Bernarda Alba (1936).
García Lorca was homosexual and suffered from depression after the end of his relationship with sculptor Emilio Aladrén Perojo. García Lorca also had a close emotional relationship for a time with Salvador Dalí, who said he rejected García Lorca's sexual advances.
García Lorca was assassinated by Nationalist forces at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War. His remains have never been found, and the motive remains in dispute; some theorize he was targeted for being gay, a socialist, or both, while others view a personal dispute as the more likely cause.
Life and career
Early years
Federico d “The artist, and particularly the poet, is always an anarchist in the best sense of the word. He must heed only the call that arises within him from three strong voices: the voice of death, with all its foreboding, the voice of love and the voice of art.” - Federico Garcia Lorca García Lorca achieved international recognition as an emblematic member of the Generation of '27. Originally from Granada, he moved to Madrid in 1919 where he became part of Spain's avant-garde. From 1925 to 1928 he was passionately involved with Salvador Dalí, though it is said Dalí rejected his erotic advances. His heavily homoerotic Sonnets of Dark Love, written in November 1935 and shared only with close friends, were lost until 1983 when they were finally published in draft form. When Five Years Pass (Así Que Pasen Cinco Años, 1931), Blood Wedding (Bodas de Sangre, 1932), Yerma (1934), Diván del Tamarit (1931–1936) and House of Bernarda Alba (La Casa de Bernarda Alba) are generally regarded as his major works. Though he escaped the Spanish Civil War by moving back to Granada, he was arrested and assassinated on August 19, 1936 by the Nationalist militia. Significant controversy remains about the motives and details of his death including suggestions that he was targeted because of his sexual orientation, while others assert it was part of a political purge. Following his death García Lorca came to be lionized as "The finest poet of Imperial Spain." In spite of numerous exhumations, his remains have never been found. García Lorca is honored by a statue prominently located in Madrid's Plaza de Santa Ana. “The artist, and particularly the poet, is always an anarchist in the best sense of the word. He must heed only the call that arises within him from three strong voices: the voice of death, with all its foreboding, the voice of love and the voice of art.” - Federico Garcia Lorca García Lorca achieved Biography
