Biography
Born in El Puerto de Santa María, 1902. Poet, writer, and painter exiled by the Francoist regime, he was the last representative of the 'Generation 27', the movement to which Garcia Lorca and Vicente Aleixandre belonged.
He leaves young Andalusia for Madrid, but remains very attached to his homeland. He spends those years with Federico Garcia Lorca, Salvador Dalì, Pablo Picasso, friends and companions on the journey.
Political commitment takes over and upsets his entire life. From the early 1930s, he becomes a militant of the Spanish Communist Party. After Francisco Franco's victory, he is forced into exile first in France, then in Mexico, Argentina, and Italy. And every time someone talks about suffering, he responds: 'I regret nothing, I will never be an ex-communist.' He only returns to Spain in 1977, to his hometown where he lives until the end and where he dies in Cádiz on October 28, 1999, and his ashes are scattered in the bay of El Puerto De Santa Maria.
