The few participants who still kept alive the flame of El Rinconcillo<\/a> (most of them had already left in the early twenties, even before, among them Garc\u00eda Lorca himself) agreed to found in February 1926 the Ateneo de Granada (Granada Athenaeum), as opposed to the increasingly aging Centro Art\u00edstico<\/a>. One of the animators of the exodus was Manuel de Falla,<\/a> who already had disagreements with the Center in 1922 when he unsuccessfully proposed that the profits of the Song Contest<\/a> be used for charitable purposes.<\/p>\n

The Athenaeum represented the cultural outpost of Granada for several years and had multiple venues.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The first premises were rented, and were located in a 17th century building at 6 Varela Street, next to San Antonio Street. Shortly thereafter it moved to Plaza de Campillo, 1, next to the Alameda caf\u00e9, although it remained there also for a short time. A few months later, in the fall of 1926, it moved to the glazed gallery of the Cervantes theater, on the second floor. The last two have disappeared.<\/p>\n

Its promoters were Fernando de los R\u00edos<\/a>, who had been president in the first decade of the century of the Centro Art\u00edstico, Manuel de Falla, Francisco Soriano Lapresa<\/a>, Constantino Ruiz Carnero<\/a> and, from a distance, Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, who gave the inaugural lecture in Varela Street on The poetic image of Don Luis de G\u00f3ngora<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Ateneo represented the cultural outpost of Granada for several years. In its premises Garc\u00eda Lorca also delivered his lecture on the Granada poet of Culteranism Pedro Soto de Rojas (Granada, 1585-1658), who lived in retirement in the Carmen de los Mascarones in the Albayc\u00edn<\/a>. Lorca read there Soto’s Eclogue<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The following year, Federico knotted his ties with the Athenaeum with two other conferences, Imagination, inspiration and evasion of poetry<\/em>, in which he shows his distancing from gongorism and his closeness to surrealism, and the Sketch of the new painting<\/em>, within the so-called gallo’s night<\/em> on the occasion of the appearance of gallo (rooster)<\/em>, the ephemeral publication encouraged from Madrid by the poet and directed by his brother<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The magazine even announced the publication of a Popular Songs of Granada<\/em> by Manuel de Falla, which, like the rest of the collection, did not see the light of day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":9354,"template":"","inters_del_lugar":[118],"ruta":[64],"class_list":["post-9353","lugar","type-lugar","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","inters_del_lugar-complementary","ruta-route-of-granada"],"trid":"191","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugar\/9353"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lugar"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/lugar"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9354"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9353"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"inters_del_lugar","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/inters_del_lugar?post=9353"},{"taxonomy":"ruta","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.universolorca.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/ruta?post=9353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
