To Painting

From the front flap of this 221 page book: "The nearly two hundred paintings created by Picasso during a single year - 1969 - would do no credit to an artist as the work of a lifetime. Exhibited at the Palace of the Popes in Avignon in 1970, they were a highlight of the year on the international art scene. Reproduced in this handsome volume, they are dramatic evidence of Picasso's inexhaustible technical prowess and exuberant creative powers. All the paintings are shown in full color - each colorplate carefully supervised by Picasso himself to ensure the utmost fidelity to the original - and are accompanied by a group of related drawings in duotone. The subjects are light-hearted, sometimes erotic improvisations, inventions, and variations that reflect the artist's joie de vivre and ebullient spirits. Taking a cue from the paintings, Rafael Alberti, one of the leading figures in the modern renaissance of Spanish letters, weaves a joyous fantasy of his own. Speaking as and for the characters in the paintings, he pays enchantingly funny yet deeply touching homage to his old friend."

History & Criticism

Abrams

First published in Spain in the summer of 1929, Concerning the Angels (Sobre los angeles) is the great Spanish poet Rafael Alberti’s masterpiece, on a par with T.S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, Pablo Neruda’s Residencia en la tierra, and Federico Garcia Lorca’s Poeta en Nueva York. It marks a major departure from the light-hearted tone of the poet's earlier verse, which was notably influence by Andalusian folksong. It is at once intensely imaginative and intimately realistic, a lyrical illumination of the poet’s dark night of the soul.”
Rafael Alberti, born in 1902, is the last surviving member of the so-called Generation of 1927 that included such notable Spanish poets Federico García Lorca, Vincente Alexandre, Pedro Salinas, Jorge Guillen, and Luis Cernuda.
Christopher Sawyer-Laucanno lives in Massachusetts and teaches in the program in Writing and Humanistic Studies at MIT.

Winner of the 2016 Cliff Becker Book Prize in Translation
"In Returnings, we are treated to an essay on the imaginative possibilities of a great poet, long exiled from his native land, turning memory into verse, recovering from the past everything that counts: love and friendship and the landscapes that shaped him. Through alleyways and storied ruins, colors and autumn and war, Alberti discovers poetry at every turn."—Christopher Merrill, prize judge
"The musical language that drives these urgent poems is echoed exquisitely in Carolyn Tipton's translations."—Stephen Kessler
Rafael Alberti was one of the greatest poets of twentieth-century Spain.
Poet and translator Carolyn L. Tipton teaches at the University of California, Berkeley.
