Book Overview

2023: A?O SOROLLA

Una biograf?a ?nica. Una mirada audaz sobre uno de los m?s grandes pintores espa?oles y su tiempo.

«Quien busque una biograf?a de Sorolla y de su ?poca encontrar? en este libro una novela apasionante y magn?ficamente escrita. Y quien busque una novela apasionante encontrar? al mismo tiempo una biograf?a tan rigurosa como amena . -Luis Landero, Premio Nacional de las Letras Espa?olas

La obra de Joaqu?n Sorolla es una de las m?s populares de la historia del arte espa?ol. Parad?jicamente, su apasionante vida es poco conocida. Requerido por las ?lites sociales e intelectuales de Europa y Am?rica, fue uno de los grandes artistas de su ?poca, que triunf? en los salones de Par?s y en la emergente Nueva York. Habit? el fascinante mundo de finales del siglo XIX e inicios del XX, con el desarrollo de la modernidad y la llegada de los grandes inventos. Vivi? el desenfreno de la Belle ?poque, el Madrid de las tertulias y zarzuelas, y las tribulaciones de la generaci?n del 98, que critic? la «alegr?a de vivir de sus cuadros.

Trabajador incansable, discreto, ambicioso y exigente consigo mismo, sus mayores deseos eran pintar a todas horas y estar con su familia. Su historia es la de un hombre de ?xito que hubiera preferido una existencia anodina. Una vida extraordinaria con un final desgraciado.

C?mo se forj? su car?cter? De d?nde proven?a su don? C?mo era la Espa?a que vio y plasm? en sus cuadros? C?mo logr? mantener vivo el amor por su mujer desde la adolescencia? C?sar Su?rez combina biograf?a, ensayo y ficci?n en este libro que muestra una visi?n audaz de Joaqu?n Sorolla y de su tiempo. Un recorrido por escenas de la vida del artista que, tal vez, podr?an servirnos de inspiraci?n para la nuestra.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

2023: THE YEAR OF SOROLLA

A unique biography. An audacious look into one of the greatest Spanish painters and his time.

Joaqu?n Sorolla's is one of the most popular works in the history of Spanish art. Paradoxically, little is known of his fascinating life. Wanted by every social and intellectual elite in Europe and the American continent, he was one of the greatest artists of his time, and triumphed both in the Paris halls and the burgeoning New York. He lived in the fascinating world at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, with modernity in development and the arrival of magnificent inventions. Sorolla experienced the revelry of the Belle ?poque, a Madrid of coteries and zarzuela, and the tribulations of the '98 Spanish literary generation, which judged the "joie de vivre" in his paintings.

Tireless worker, discreet, ambitious, and demanding of himself, his greatest desire was to paint all day and be with his family. This is the story of a successful man who would have preferred an unremarkable life. An extraordinary life with a miserable ending.

How was his character forged? Where did his gift come from? How was the Spain he saw and painted in his pictures? How did he manage to keep the love for his wife kindling since their teenage years? C?sar Su?rez combines biography, essay, and fiction in a book that portrays a bold vision of Joaqu?n Sorolla and his time. A walk through scenes from the artist's life that might serve as inspiration for our own.
