Dos pavellons entre una dictadura

Abstract

1937 marked the celebration of the International Exposition in Paris. Thirty-nine years later, in Venice, the Venice Biennial (Biennale dArte) was held. Spain was present on both occasions: in Paris, while the country was immersed in civil war and with Guernica representing the swansong of liberty; in Venice, with the dictatorship in decline and «Aidez lEspagne» once again becoming the cry for freedom of a phoenix arising from the ashes. This paper analyzes Spains cultural presence through the works of art employed as publicity/propaganda on behalf of a country fighting to maintain (1937) and recover/regain (1976) democracy and freedom. On July 19, 1992, fifty-six years after the beginning of the Spanish Civil War, King Juan Carlos I inaugurated the reconstructed Spanish Pavilion from the Paris Exposition, in Barcelona. This act could have become a true paradigm of public art.
