Federico García Lorca (1898 – 1936) was a Spanish poet and dramatist, also remembered as a painter, pianist, and composer.
An emblematic member of the Generation of '27, he was killed by Nationalist partisans at the age of 38 at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
Lorca was friends with Dalí and Buñuel and is often called a Surrealist though he never officially joined the group; he broke contact with Dalí and Buñuel in 1929 when he interpreted their film, Un chien andalou, as an attack on him.
