Imagen, modelos y canales de difusión del arte en Extremadura durante la primera mitad del siglo XX. El diálogo centro-periferia

Abstract

This study examines the artistic exchange between Madrid (as cultural center) and Extremadura (as peripheral region) during the first half of the 20th century, focusing on the networks, models, and channels through which artistic trends circulated. While regionalist painting dominated the cultural scene in Extremadura, a lesser-known group of artists actively engaged with modern artistic environments in Madrid. Among them were Antonio Juez Nieto, influenced by symbolism, decadent imagery, and Art Déco, associated with the circle of José Zamora; Pedro de Torre-Isunza, whose sculptural work developed the figure of the modern sensual “New Eve”; and Antonio Solís Ávila, who worked as an illustrator for leading illustrated magazines such as ABC and Blanco y Negro. The article analyzes how these artists transmitted and reinterpreted modern models through illustrated periodicals, short novels, exhibitions, and artistic sociability, creating forms of center-periphery dialogue that did not, however, fully alter the dominant artistic taste in the region. The study argues that, despite their limited transformative impact, these exchanges reveal the cultural diversity and openness of Extremaduran visual culture. They also highlight the importance of circulation and adaptation of artistic ideas in shaping regional identities within the broader context of Spanish modernity.

El trabajo analiza el diálogo artístico entre el centro (Madrid) y la periferia (Extremadura) durante la primera mitad del siglo XX, mostrando cómo los modelos culturales y visuales circulaban a través de revistas ilustradas, exposiciones, mercados artísticos y redes personales. El estudio parte del predominio del regionalismo pictórico en Extremadura, representado por artistas como Eugenio Hermoso o Adelardo Covarsí, pero se centra en un grupo menos estudiado de autores que establecieron vínculos directos con los ambientes modernos madrileños. Entre ellos destacan Antonio Juez Nieto, cercano al simbolismo y decadentismo y vinculado al círculo de José Zamora; Pedro de Torre-Isunza, cuya escultura incorpora la figura de la Nueva Eva dentro de lenguajes modernos y sensualizados; y Antonio Solís Ávila, activo como ilustrador gráfico en publicaciones como ABC o Blanco y Negro. A través de sus trayectorias se examinan los canales de difusión —revistas, novelas cortas, sociabilidades artísticas, colecciones privadas— que permitieron la llegada y reinterpretación de corrientes como el Art Déco, el simbolismo y el cosmopolitismo bohemio. El estudio concluye que, aunque el impacto transformador en la región fue limitado, estos intercambios resultan esenciales para comprender la pluralidad y complejidad de la cultura artística extremeña en ese periodo.
