Reviews

Overall, the monograph provides an excellent insight into some of the main culturaldebates within the Spanish left during the Second Republic, such as the revolutionarypotential and limitations of art, the power of visual art to reach a large-scale audience, therole of local traditions and cultural heritage, the relation between high and popular art, andthe dialogue between Spanish cultural and aesthetic debates and international currents.Regarding Renaus work, Bjerstroems well-argued discussion of the centrality of visualimagery and propaganda in an age of mass politics and political turmoil helps provide adeeper understanding of Renaus artistic creations both before and during the Civil War .
