Arte, mito e historia en dos obras de Ricardo Menéndez Salmón

The object of this study are two works written by Ricardo Menéndez Salmon (1971- ), La luz es más antigua que el amor (2010) and Medusa (2012). These texts are very interesting because, as postmodern works, they result as a mixture of different genres (essay, novel, biography) and because they are built with a combination of fiction and history, through the red line of the reflection on Art. Through the experience of several artists, imagined or real, Ricardo Menéndez Salmon proposes a reflection on History and Myth, on the role of literature and art, establishing a significant relationship between the present and the past, memory and oblivion, language and images.
