SPAN 40.14 The Shock of the Metropolis: Dalí, Lorca, and Buñuel

This course will explore the work of three major Spanish artists: the poet and playwright Federico García Lorca (1898-1936), the film director Luis Bunuel (1900-1983), and the painter and writer Salvador Dali (1904-1989) in their relationship with the United States and the city of New York. The course will examine the cultural dialogue among painting, literature, and film during a foundational moment of the modernist and avant-garde period in Europe and America. We will examine the production of these artists from an interdisciplinary perspective, paying special attention to the influence exerted by the United States on Dali, Lorca and Bunuel’s work, and conversely to their legacy in American culture and society.
