Summary

This article examines a peculiar moment of the works of Luis de Pablo, and in particular Zurezko Olerkia, from the perspective of its theoretical relationships and sensibility with Luis de Pablo´s contemporary vanguard generation, whose most important members are Jorge Oteiza, Eduardo Chilida and Agustín Ibarola. This generation appears concerned about producing a Basque modern art that is inserted in the universal currents but which is markedly identitary. This project is summarised as the tension between cosmopolitanism and basquism. The conclusion is that Luis de Pablo´s work, in addition to its inherent musical values, also touches, in a fertile manner, that historical tension, contributing to a better comprehension of its nature.
