The journal gallo appeared in Granada in 1928. It was Federico García Lorca’s initiative, and only two issues were published, one in February and another in April. Though ephemeral, a not uncommon fate for literary periodicals in the 1920s, gallo brought together leitmotifs of contemporary literature and the visual arts which advocated a “New Art” for the times.
Salvador Dalí drew the letterhead, while Lorca did the calligraphy for gallo. Other contributing members of the Generation of 27 include poets Jorge Guillén and José Bergamín, writers Francisco Ayala, Melchor Fernández Almagro and Francisco García Lorca, and art critic Sebastià Gasch.
