Gongora: Bilingual Edition

Picasso was first attracted to the work of sixteenth-century Spanish poet Luis de Gongora y Argote during the 1920s, when the poet, called "the father of modern poetry" by Federico Garcia Lorca, was resurrected by the Surrealists. Gongora is comprised of twenty sonnets by the poet, which Pablo Picasso wrote out in hand and further embellished with flourishes, figures and sketches. The artist also rendered twenty portraits to accompany these poems. The result is a blending of word and image, full of imaginary variety and exceptional artistic virtuosity. This bilingual edition of Gongora, featuring a preface by award-winning poet Edward Hirsch and an introduction by former New York Times chief art critic John Russell, presents this intimate union of art and poetry.Gongora's sophisticated and complex poetic style inspired a school of literature, called "culteranismo," influenced by his expressive power, unrestrained by the strict conventions of formal Spanish. Known for his sharp wit and self-satire, he was acutely aware of the irony in his passion for women and gambling, and his position as a deacon of the Catholic Church. In Gongora, Picasso's handwritten Spanish text, with its embellishing remarques closely following the words, established the artist's personal attachment to the poetry. The rich presentation of images—described as a "veritable feminine kaleidoscope"—invites the natural comparison with the great Spanish portraitists Velasquez and El Greco, who were Gongora's contemporaries.This edition of Gongora will appeal to a broad audience and expose a new generation of readers to the lyrical brilliance of this groundbreaking Spanish poet and to the visual interpretation of his famous admirer. Picasso's etchings, executed in drypoint and aquatint, demonstrate an extraordinary ability to master the elements of light and shade to create rich, sensuous and mysterious effects. Perhaps Picasso's finest graphic accomplishment, Gongora is a memorable visual and literary experience. 40 duotone illustrations.

A volume of twenty poetic works by the sixteenth-century Spanish poet is hand-written by Pablo Picasso and embellished with the master Surrealist's accompanying flourishes, figures, and sketches, in a bilingual edition that is complemented by twenty drypoint and aquatint portraits.

The aim of this edition is to make the poem approachable to those who are coming at Gongora, or Spanish Golden Age poetry, for the first time, and to help them understand and enjoy it. Fusing epic and pastoral, the poem describes a journey through the countryside and contrasts the beauty of nature and of the rural crafts and customs with the vices of court, commercial greed and colonial exploitation. This edition, with its literal verse translation, aims to make the poem available to anyone with a reading knowledge of Spanish, or even without.

Gongora: Soledades (Spanish Texts)

GONGORA,LUIS DE

Literary

Bristol Classical Press

Soledades de Góngora y Primero sueño de sor Juana son los dos grandes epítomes líricos del barroco hispano. Si bien similares en forma, sus temas no podrían ser más dispares: mientras que Góngora evoca una edad dorada "un universo bucólico idealizado", el poema de sor Juana está más emparentado con la Ilustración, es un canto al conocimiento y la ciencia. Lo más destacado de esta edición es el estudio que acompaña a cada poema: una guía de lectura para las Soledades escrita por Antonio Carreira y una invitación a la lectura del Sueño escrita por Antonio Alatorre.
