Abstract

A la pintura (1945-1967), by Rafael Alberti, is an excercise in ecphrasis and, primarily, an homage to painting, the first vocation of the poet, to which he returns as another lost paradise to defend himself from the barbarism of history and to express his vitalist affirmation of arts through poetry. This paper analyses the meaning and structure of A la pintura and offers a panoramic view of the painters to whom he pays homage-poems, deepening in some cases to study the different uses of the ecphrasis.

Alternate abstract:

A la pintura (1945-1967), de Rafael Alberti, es un ejercicio de écfrasis y es, ante todo, un homenaje a la pintura, primera vocación del poeta, a la que vuelve como otro paraíso perdido para defenderse de la barbarie de la historia y para expresar a través de la palabra poética su afirmación vitalista de las artes. Este artículo estudia el sentido del libro, analiza su estructura y ofrece una visión panorámica de los pintores a los que Alberti dedica poemas-homenaje, profundizando en algunos casos para valorar los distintos usos ecfrásticos.
