- Summary:
-
'Juego y teoría del Duende' (The play and theory of the duende) is one of Lorca's most celebrated lectures. The 'duende' in Spanish mythology is a demon or hob-goblin, a mischief-maker who is unknowable and unpredictable. In his lecture, Lorca uses the term 'duende' to describe the emotional spirit within an artist, poet or musician, the artistic force borne out of ones own inner demons which cannot be controlled. The 'duende' rises up out of one's personal history, one's love and loss, the struggles of our own existence, to release an expression which is generally termed as 'art', but which in fact is the released voice of the 'duende'. In this beautiful and graphic artists' book, conceived by Nicholas Pounder, Lyssiotis illustrates Lorca's concept with imagery which is mystical, visionary and raw. A powerful work which reflects the intensely personal and conflicted nature of aesthetic creativity. - Douglas Stewart Fine Books, December 2019.
