OTEIZA Y LA ARQUITECTURA DESDE SU BIBLIOTECA: GAUDÍ, LA BAUHAUS, LE CORBUSI
2020
Overview
ABSTRACT The private Library of Jorge Oteiza, located inside the Foundation Museum Jorge Oteiza (Alzuza, Navarra), is composed of more than 6,000 volumes, around a hundred of which correspond to texts related to Contemporary Architecture, where the Basque sculptor shows a particular interest in Gaudí and the Sagrada Familia, the school of the Bauhaus and Le Corbusier and the Modulor. Their study makes possible a direct approach to the thought of the artist, who considers the book as an effective instrument through which he dialogues with their authors through annotations and comments that provide the keys to his own work. KEYWORDS Jorge Oteiza; library of artists; 20th Century art; aesthetics and art theory; Antoni Gaudi; Bauhaus; Max Bill; Le Corbusier. Tal idea había sido ya vislumbrada por Francisco Javier San Martín3, y en ella se reafirma posteriormente Emma López-Bahut, apuntando con acierto el concepto de diálogo: \"Se puede obtener mucha información del pensamiento de Oteiza del análisis de sus lecturas ya que trabajaba los textos subrayando, anotando, rebatiendo ideas expuestas en ellos, como si se tratase de un diálogo virtual con el autor\"4. Normalmente esta documentación guarda relación directa con el contenido del texto, tratándose de reflexiones que Oteiza lleva a cabo a partir de su lectura y en las que se extiende con mayor detalle; mas en otros casos se muestra independiente y tiene que ver con las propuestas plásticas que desarrollaba en aquel momento o con sus ideas sobre los más variados ámbitos -cultural, artístico, político, antropológico-, pero que por un motivo u otro decidió vincular al texto que estaba leyendo5.
