Federico García Lorca

Federico Garcia Lorca was born in 1898 in Fuente Vaqueros, a small village near Granada in Andalusia, Spain. He grew up surrounded by the folk songs, puppet shows, and oral traditions of rural Spain, influences that would permeate his work. He studied law and literature in Granada and Madrid, where he became the charismatic center of a circle that included Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel. A gifted musician, visual artist, and theatrical director, Lorca possessed a creative energy that seemed almost supernatural to those who knew him.
