Six Letters Exchanged between Jorge Guillén and Guillermo de Torre. Autobiography, Aesthetics and Ideology through Federico García Lorca, Pablo Picasso and Juan Ramón Jiménez

Abstract

The six letters exchanged between Jorge Guillén and Guillermo de Torre, which we offer in the following article, are an example of the diversity of relationships in the literary and artistic scene, before and after the Spanish Civil War. Besides their documental value, we can also observe the aesthetic, political and autobiographical profile of their authors through three equally valuable characters: Federico García Lorca, Pablo Picasso and Juan Ramón Jiménez, who act as subjects of reflection and memory in the letters.
