Note 41 — Chapter XIII · TWO ANDALUSIANS

A third name might be added: that of Manuel de Falla, Spain’s leading composer and a pure Andalusian, also. Falla in tonal structures hard, fluid, irreducible, conveys into æsthetic form elements of life that are very close to those which we shall consider in Picasso and Jiménez. He may be said to recreate the body of Andalusian folk-song, as Picasso recreates physical shapes and Jiménez physical sensations, into a new arabesque.
