Abstract

This essay describes Luis Abad Carretero’s intellectual and artistic evolution. After the downfall of the Spanish government in April 1939, this Republican exiled from Almería began his nomadic life in Algeria and France, whilst his work as a philosopher and visual artist peaked both in Mexico and back in Spain. His two remarkable ways of expression, which were well known during his lifetime, have nowadays unfortunately been almost forgotten. This essay recounts Abad Carretero and Max Aub’s reclusion in French camps in Orán as well as José Miaja’s life experiences in Orán and Marseille just before migrating to Mexico. Also present in this essay is the Mexican people’s culture and academic evolution from Lázaro Cardenas presidency to the new avant-garde movement of the twentieth century.
