Federico Garcia Lorca (1898-1936), assassinated at the age of thirty-eight, left an imprint on world literature as one of the most read Spanish poets. Sadly, his literary life ended abruptly with his sudden death. As a poet, dramatist, musician, and visual artist, Lorca was a leading voice of the "Generation of 1927," through a poetry rich in symbolism and colors. Lorca's Canciones (1927) features ninety poems that playfully blend colors and imagery into landscapes. Adopting the concept of liminality by Arnold van Gennep and Victor Turner, this study examines the interplay of color and space throughout Canciones and engages how Lorca expresses the themes of existence and invisibility. This paper has three parts. The first part analyzes the space of playfulness in Canciones, focusing on "Cancion de las siete doncellas." The second discusses liminal spaces in three poems: "Las gentes iban," "Sobre el cielo verde," and "Cancioncilla del primer deseo." The third investigates the paralleled spaces of landscape and narration by comparing "Arbole, arbole" from Canciones with "Romance sonambulo" from Romancero gitano. All three examine the function and symbolism of color, with specific attention to green and white, the two most frequent colors to appear in Lorca's Canciones. |
