'I want you to see that I am a much better artist than poet' wrote Federico Garcia Lorca but apart from an exhibition in Barcelona in 1927, little public notice was taken of his art until 1986. Then 50 years after the poet's tragically early death, an exhibition of more than 200 drawings, most of them previously unpublished, was created in Madrid.
Lorca's graphic art reveals a witty and trenchant eye for detail as well as some romantic pictures of his beloved Granada. The same obsessive themes that dominate the poet's verse, also appear in the drawings and the two are brought together by this film where the commentary is taken from his letters and poems.
