He was a member of the El Rinconcillo<\/a> discussion group and one of the editors of the magazine gallo<\/em> directed by Garc\u00eda Lorca. He was a friend of Federico (who dedicated to him the poem Dos marinos en la orilla<\/em>, from Songs<\/em><\/a>) and of other poets who alternated in Granada in the 1920s, such as Luis Rosales<\/a> (it was through Amigo that Rosales would meet Lorca) or Enrique G\u00f3mez Arboleya<\/a>. Catholic and conservative in ideology, Joaqu\u00edn Amigo was, however, a disciple and contemporary of the avant-garde and of Ortega y Gasset<\/a>. After the military uprising, he was arrested on 24 August 1936 in Ronda, where he was assigned as a high school teacher. In the early hours of 27 August of that year, only a week after the death of his friend Garc\u00eda Lorca, he was thrown into the Tajo river in the town of Malaga by supporters of the Popular Front.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was at the banquet for the presentation of the magazine gallo<\/em>, at the Venta Erita\u00f1a, and spoke after the inaugural address by Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca and other participants, with a speech critical of the 19th century.<\/p>\n

His contributions were not numerous. His name appears in issue number 2 of gallo –<\/em>published in April 1928 – together with an Anti-Artistic Manifesto signed by Salvador Dal\u00ed<\/a>, Sebasti\u00e0 Gasch<\/a> and Llu\u00eds Montany\u00e0. The manifesto was a translation of the Manifest Groc, which had previously appeared in Catalan in March 1928 and which defended the aesthetic assumptions of “anti-art”, the poetics of modernity, machinism, and so on. The main text was accompanied by a note written by Joaqu\u00edn Amigo who enthusiastically subscribed to these ideas.<\/strong> However, the translation and the note upset some friends, such as Pedro Salinas<\/a> who wrote from Madrid to Jorge Guill\u00e9n<\/a>: “My most recent indignation is caused by the second issue of gallo<\/em>, with the stupid Catalan manifesto and Amigo’s little article in its defence. Last night I told Federico a string of atrocities about it all. I think I went too far, but holy indignation possessed me”.<\/p>\n

Amigo attended the reading, along with other rinconcillistas, Yerma<\/em><\/a> in the Huerta de San Vicente<\/a> in the summer of 1934.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
