Resumen de La construcción de un mito: La imagen de Franco en las artes plásticas en el primer franquismo (1936-1945)
During the war and into the early years after the victory, the iconography of Franco took hold. Along with it came the theory of the caudillaje. The iconography changed little over the years. It was a simple model based on an idealized image of the Caudillo’s face, unfailingly noble and serene. In the great majority of portraits, sketches and photographs he is depicted in military guise. Regardless of the medium chosen, a conventional and academic style predominates. It is this characteristically homogeneous style in the iconography of Franco that so sharply contrasts with that of other twentieth century dictators.
