Summary

Spain's Raphael Alberti, now 95, is one of the great poets of the 20th century. Each of the poems here is inspired by one of three different elements of painting--the painter, the colors, or the tools. This bilingual edition features the poems in their original Spanish with English translations alongside. Includes 16 full-color reproductions of many of the paintings referred to in the poems.
