Rafael Alberti
Description
Deftly interweaving political concerns into his poetry, Rafael Alberti fashioned a literary style suited to the social turmoil of the 20th century. This program shows the evolution of that style, from the highly personal Marinero en Tierra, to the balance of playfulness and melancholy in El Alba de Alheli, to the mystical and nearly apocalyptic Sobre los Angeles. Detailing Alberti's travels across Europe and to the Soviet Union, the United States, and South America-including Argentina, where he spent 23 years of his life-this energetic biography also highlights Alberti's involvement with painting and theater, as well as with the Spanish Communist party.
