Abstract
This paper revolves around the ambivalent influence of Luis de Góngora among young Spanish artists during the first half of the 20th century, whose poetry was simultaneously appreciated and repudiated. Thus, on the one hand, we will try to articulate a detailed analysis of the basis which sustains the revitalisation of Góngora, and on the other hand, we will study the reasons for his criticism. Approaching such bipolarity, this article considers the diverse situation of avant-garde movements in the country, quite opposite to the Generation of ‘27, which supports directly the approval of the poet. Overall, this essay seeks to overcome the narrow dichotomy “Generation of ‘27 vs. Vanguards” in order to appraise fully the artistic interrelations within the creative context in which the phenomenon of Góngora took place.
