| description | Two years before Lorca’s visit to New York, José Moreno Villa, his friend and mate at the Residencia de Estudiantes undertakes the same trip. Villa’s extraordinarily multifaceted character (as poet, painter, art and architecture critic) allows us to consider his New York experience as a privileged point of departure to analyze the Spanish cultural crossroads at the end of the 20s. The very particular circumstances of Villa’s trip take us to look at those crossroads as a dialogue between an ascetic tendency in Avant-Garde formalism and the latent threat of an ornamental drift. Simultaneously, his thoughts about aesthetics and architecture are formulated, as we will see, in terms of gender: his personal project, getting married to his American girlfriend and establishing a home is intertwined with his search for an aesthetic position in the Avant-garde crossroads. |

Dos años antes de la visita de Lorca a Nueva York, José Moreno Villa, amigo y compañero en la Residencia de Estudiantes emprende el mismo viaje. El carácter extraordinariamente polifacético de Villa, activo en distintas esferas artísticas, pintura, arquitectura, poesía, convierte su experiencia neoyorquina en un privilegiado punto de partida para considerar la encrucijada cultural española a finales de los veinte. A partir de las particulares circunstancias del viaje de Villa, analizamos esa encrucijada como diálogo entre una tendencia ascética presente en el formalismo vanguardista y la constante y latente amenaza de una deriva ornamental. Su pensamiento estético y arquitectónico, como veremos, se formula en términos de género: el proyecto personal de casarse con su novia americana y fundar un hogar se entrevera con la búsqueda de su posición estética en la encrucijada vanguardista. 2015-12-18 2022-03-18T16:20:45Z 2022-03-18T16:20:45Z info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/8267 http://biblioteca-repositorio.clacso.edu.ar/handle/CLACSO/61790 por https://periodicos.fclar.unesp.br/letras/article/view/8267/5595 Copyright (c) 2015 Revista de Letras application/pdf Revista de Letras Revista de Letras Revista de Letras; Vol. 54 No. 2 (2014) Revista de Letras; v. 54 n. 2 (2014) 1981-7886 0101-3505 |
