This volume brings together the proceedings of a conference organised by FUDEPA and held at the University of Córdoba, along with the catalogue of the exhibition Julio Romero de Torres. Insigne trabajador, eminente obrero del arte (Julio Romero de Torres. Distinguished Worker, Eminent Craftsman of Art), published to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the painter?s birth. Through diverse perspectives, it explores the most socially and intellectually engaged facets of the Cordoban painter, overcoming the clichés that have shaped how he has been interpreted. The book analyzes his historical context, his family and cultural environment, his relationship with the working class and the Casa del Pueblo (People?s House) in Córdoba, as well as his connections with leading figures in the thought and arts of his time, including numerous women with their own distinct voices: writers, politicians, intellectuals, dancers, actresses, flamenco singers, and more. This publication offers a fresh perspective on Romero de Torres as a committed artist deeply bonded to the transformations of Spain during his epoc.
