Description

El libro analiza la relacion entre vanguardia y humorismo grafico en dos periodos historicos criticos: la Guerra Civil Espanola (1936-1939) y los primeros anos de la Revolucion Cubana (1959-1961). Se centra en los periodicos y la llamada prensa de trincheras en Espana orientada a un publico adulto, tanto en el bando republicano (No Veas, Trincheras, L'Esquella de la Torratxa, entre otras) como en el nacional (Vertice y La Ametralladora). En la parte dedicada a Cuba, el analisis se centra en el diario Revolucion y en la revista de humor vanguardista El Pitirre, que discurrio paralela al suplemento cultural Lunes de Revolucion y corrio similar suerte cuando tanto Lunes como El Pitirre fueron clausurados en 1961. El enfoque del libro traza la trayectoria de la vanguardia en el humorismo grafico en ambos periodos, cuando el compromiso politico y la militancia desplazaron paulatinamente el desarrollo de la vanguardia estetica. La especial coyuntura socio-politica planteo retos a los artistas graficos de indole ideologico y estetico-conceptual, estableciendo areas de contacto e influencia entre Espana y Cuba. The book studies the relation between the avant-garde and graphic humour in two critical historical periods: the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) and the early years of the Cuban Revolution (1959-1961). It focuses on the so-called war magazines in Spain on the Republican side (No Veas, Trincheras, and LEsquella de la Torratxa,among others) and the Francoist side (Vertice and La Ametralladora). In the part devoted to Cuba, the analysis covers the newspaper Revolucion and the avant-garde humour magazine El Pitirre, which ran simultaneously to the cultural supplement Lunes de Revolucion and shared the same fate when Lunes and El Pitirre were closed down in 1961. The book unveils the trajectory of the avant-garde graphic humour in both periods, when the political commitment progressively overshadowed the development of the aesthetic avant-garde. The special socio-political conjuncture posed ideological and aesthetic-conceptual challenges to graphic artists, establishing contact areas and influences between Spain and Cuba. Jorge L.
