Abstract

The author reconstructs the different visits of the young architect and painter Joaquin Vaquero Palacios (Oviedo, 1900-Madrid, 1998) to New York between 1928 and 1930. While his scholarship from the Junta para Ampliacion de Estudios permitted him access to the most recent skyscrapers constructed in the city, his artistic calling led him to paint urban landscapes and provide drawings to illustrate the American and British editions of New York by the French writer Paul Morand. In addition, his stay in the great metropolis allowed him to experience this special cultural and artistic environment, and provided him with the opportunity to exhibit his Spanish landscapes in important galleries and cultural centres.
