A cherished erotic play by Federico Garcia Lorca, illustrated by a
major Spanish artist. Painting, poetry, and music come together in
Zobel Reads Lorca, as Fernando Zobel, a Harvard student who would
become one of Spain's most famous painters, translates and
illustrates Federico Garcia Lorca's haunting play about the wounds
of love. The premiere of Amor de Don Perlimplin con Belisa en su
jardin, an "erotic allelujia" which Lorca once called his most
cherished play, was shut down in 1928 by Spanish government censors
who confiscated the manuscript and locked it away in the
pornography section of a state archive. Lorca rewrote the work in
New York, and an amateur theater group brought it to the Spanish
stage a few years later. Since his death, the play has also been
transformed into ballet and opera. Zobel Reads Lorca presents
Zobel's previously unpublished translation and features contextual
essays from several scholars. Art historian Felipe Pereda studies
Lorca in the context of Zobel's development as a painter, Luis
Fernandez Cifuentes describes the precarious and much-debated state
of the humanities in Zobel's Harvard and throughout the United
States in the 1940s, and Christopher Maurer delves into musical and
visual aspects of the play's American productions.
