Abstract

In the case of Antonio Machado, Art precedes Esthetics, not only in a methodological, but also in a biographical, sense because in effect his reflections on the poetic act arose in the years of his maturity. Fundamentally this was during the period 1934–1936, when his best known apocryphal work “Juan de Mairena” was published. Extracts from it had appeared previously in El Diario de Madrid and El Sol. This reflective work was preceded by “Los Complementarios” written during his stay in Baeza.1
