1928

He wrote the prologue for La flor de Californía, a book written by his friend, the poet from Malaga, José María Hinojosa. He commented about the “Textos oníricos ” included in that book:

“I hit off with this technique because I was already familiar with its twin in painting. And I remember that I understood better Bores or Miró when I read your stories, which also became clearer when I saw their paintings.”
He also filled in the poll on the new architecture conducted by García Mercadal for La Gaceta Literaria. In this survey, Moreno Villa declared his admiration for the rationalist house, mixing everyday images with theoretical concepts:

“If you ask me to be more specific, I will say that my dream house looks like the Dunhill cigarette lighter. [...] A Rolls or a Dunhill house. This is my ideal [...] A house where everything fits well, with a clear internal structure, without any friction, built with real and solid materials.”

In December, he presented his second solo exhibition in the Ateneo, in Madrid, the place that became the exhibition hall most committed to the new currents of the artistic avant-garde in Spain. The exhibition included 20 oil paintings and six works on paper, and Moreno Villa showed the world where his painting was moving: a world full of surprises that incorporated an endless variety of trends and tests. The new images that he created had strong poetic nuance, something that would logically follow, since, as he would claim many years later: "Only a painter who is also a poet can create a lyrical art form.”
