Abstract
Hemos realizado un estudio analítico del exilio artístico español en El Caribe, principalmente en la República Dominicana, con especial énfasis en las relaciones artísticas y culturales que establecieron los refugiados. Se trata de una contribución, a través de la figura de José Vela Zanetti, al exilio artístico español en Latinoamérica partiendo de la hipótesis de que la proyección creativa de estos artistas y las circunstancias históricas que los acompañaron, determinaron su obra e impactaron en la trayectoria del arte de los países de acogida. El objetivo general de esta tesis es el análisis de la producción artística de los españoles exiliados en Cuba, Puerto Rico y República Dominicana, con especial atención al caso dominicano y la figura del pintor José Vela Zanetti. Otro de los objetivos de esta investigación consiste en el estudio del vínculo de los artistas exiliados con las sociedades receptoras y sus relaciones con el colectivo de inmigrantes establecido en cada una de ellas. En este sentido, podemos determinar las redes artísticas que se tejieron en base a la participación de los creadores españoles en la vida cultural de los países de destino. Por último, tomaremos como caso de estudio la figura del artista burgalés José Vela Zanetti, cuyo paso por la República Dominicana dejó una profunda huella en el imaginario artístico del país. Hemos seleccionado a este pintor por su interesante trayectoria muralística en la isla dominicana y en otros países hispanoamericanos por los que peregrinó. Para llevar a cabo los objetivos propuestos en esta investigación, se ha establecido una metodología centrada en ofrecer una visión panorámica del exilio en El Caribe, hasta llegar al caso concreto de cada artista. Por tanto, ha sido fundamental la aproximación a cada uno de los contextos políticos, sociales y culturales que enmarcaron y condicionaron la producción artística de los creadores españoles. En este estudio hemos tenido en cuenta gran variedad de fuentes, desde una recopilación sistemática de la bibliografía propia del tema, hasta la consideración de fuentes documentales más concretas sin obviar las propias obras de arte como fuente esencial de estudio. Entre las fuentes primarias hemos incluido las publicaciones especializadas (actas de congresos, publicaciones científicas, publicaciones monográficas y catálogos de exposiciones), junto con las fuentes hemerográficas y epistolares. Éstas comprenden artículos de opinión, reportajes de exposiciones, correspondencia, críticas y fotografías aparecidas en prensa...
This is an analytical study on the Spanish artistic exile to the Caribbean, mainly to the Dominican Republic and furthermore, stressing the artistic and cultural relationship that the refugees established. It is a contribution, through the figure of José Vela Zanetti, to the Spanish artistic exile in Latin America starting from the hypothesis that the creative projection of all these artists and the historic circumstances surrounding them, determined their work and had an impact in the trajectory of the art in these host countries. The overall objective of this thesis is analysing the artistic production of the exiled Spanish artists in Cuba, Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic, with particular emphasis on the Dominican case and the painter José Vela Zanetti. Another objective of this research is the analysis of the link between the exiled artists and their host societies and their relationship with the immigrant collective established in each of them. In this sense, we can determine the artistic networks established, based on the participation of the Spanish creators in the cultural life of their host countries. Finally, we will take as a case study the figure of the artist from Burgos, José Vela Zanetti. His stay in the Dominican Republic made a lasting impression in this country’s artistic imaginary. The choice of this painter is based on his outstanding career in mural painting in the Dominican island and other Hispanic countries where he travelled to. To carry out the objectives of this research, the methodology has been centered firstly in offering a panoramic view of the exile in the Caribbean, up to the concrete case of each artist. Therefore, the approach to each of the political, social and cultural contexts that framed and conditioned the work of the Spanish creators has been fundamental. In this study, we have taken into account a very broad range of sources. Starting from a systematic collection of bibliography about the topic, to considering particular documentary archives, avoiding the artists’ works as essential source for research. Among the primary sources, we have included especialized publications (Congress acts, scientific publications, monographic publications and exhibition catalogues), along with epistolary and newspaper clippings. The latter include opinion articles, exhibition reports, correspondence, reviews and photographs. The testimony of the protagonists and the sources written by them, are at the core of this research. It is through the gathering of oral sources or the reading of memoirs, that we can understand situations and features in the artistic works that we could not otherwise...
