| Description |
Garden of Delights forms part of the Spanish macabre/fantastical tradition of highly visual art that reaches from Goya through Picasso and Dali to the recent Academy Award winning film, Pan's Labyrinth. The writer, Fernando Arrabal grew up in Franco's Spanish dictatorship before going into exile and is seen as one of the founders of the Panic Movement of 1960's which can be described as a continuation of Surrealism and drew heavily of the Theatre of the Absurd. |
