ART AND CULTURE IN 20th CENTURY SPAIN

Abstract art developed in the second half of the 20th century. It represented ideas rather than reality. Eduardo Chillida was an important abstract sculptor from País Vasco. He produced massive, abstract sculptures made of steel and concrete.

Surrealism represented imaginary scenes and fantasies. Salvador Dalí and Joan Miró were important Surrealist artists.

Cubism used geometric shapes to represent people and things. Pablo Picasso was one of the inventors of Cubism.His painting Guernica represents the bombing of a Basque town during the Spanish Civil War.

Spain has influenced the most important artistic movements of the 20th and 21st centuries.

The group included Miguel Hernández and Federico García Lorca. The Civil War split the group: García Lorca was killed by the Nationalists and Miguel Hernández died in prison.
