Abstract

DUARTE PINA, Olga  and  GANDUL VERDUN, Lauro. Rafael Luna: series for a life. Estúdio [online]. 2019, vol.10, n.25, pp.73-82. ISSN 1647-6158.

Rafael Luna spent a life interpreting in his paintings other lives, giving them new life through a new look and a new narrative. His works were organized in series that, in turn, constituted a discourse where the theme of each series was developed. Thus, he reinterprets the iconography of Velázquez, Murillo or Goya, and recreates the Giralda of Seville. He invents libraries, typewriters, as well as sheets lying on Andalusian rooftops or barber chairs; objects and realities that become extraordinary and timeless. His work responds to an unmistakable language nurtured by surrealism that results from a counter-cultural revision of tradition.

Keywords : Rafael Luna; art history; surrealism; counterculture.
