The catalogue of this exhibition, created in the form of a monograph, is structured in two parts. The first brings together four general studies prepared by the book’s scientific editor José García-Velasco, members of the exhibition’s scientific committee José-Carlos Mainer and José Manuel Sánchez Ron and the exhibition’s artistic assessor Juan Pérez de Ayala. These studies offer a general overview of the projection and internationalisation of Spain between 1910 and 1945 from an historic point of view, as well as from analysis of various areas of culture: literature, music, thought, fine arts and science.
The second part brings together twenty short texts, created by specialists, each aiming to add further detail each aspect of the exhibition in some way: from biographical details about key figures such as María de Maetzu, Federico de Onís, Alfonso Reyes and Salvador de Madariaga to reflections on the work of initiatives and institutions like the Instituto de las Españas at the University of Colombia, the Hispanic Society of America in New York, the Casa de España in Mexico and the Spanish School of Middlebury College. The volume illustrates this through reproductions of the fine arts exhibits, as well as a good number of photographs and documents selected for the exhibition.
