Artpress Article on Luis Buñuel's Artistic Classification Debated in 1988

An Artpress article from October 1, 1988 examines the classification of Luis Buñuel's work, questioning whether it should be considered surrealist or baroque. The piece was written in late August from a village in Vaucluse, France, during a period described as calm before the cultural season's activities in dance, theater, and cinema would be well underway by the time of publication. The article engages with Buñuel's artistic legacy without resolving the categorization debate. It situates the discussion within the broader context of performance arts as the cultural calendar transitions from summer stillness to autumn programming. The text captures a specific moment in art criticism while reflecting on Buñuel's enduring influence across multiple artistic disciplines.
