A execución e a morte na obra pictórico-ensaística de Castelao. Perspectiva comparada a través das obras Sempre en Galiza y Estampas da Guerra

Abstract

This article will try to convey a comparative artistic analysis among different works by the Spanish author Alfonso Daniel Rodríguez Castelao. Such comparison will be examined from a philosophic approach on Hannah Arendt’s concept of «evil». This paper bears the literary trend Sempre en Galiza (Always in Galicia) and painting movement Estampas da guerra (Images of the War). The analysis will focus on the concepts of execution and death in the context of the Spanish Civil War in 1936. The different art techniques and resources from both genres will be compared, as well as any underlying elements existing in such works. Finally, we will try to determine whether his entire work was seeking one same objective or whether each of these art fields was after its own aim and teleological approach.
