Jacinto Grau

Jacinto Grau Delgado (1877 – 14 August 1958) was a Spanish writer. Best known for his plays, and his theoretical approach to theater, he also wrote essays, short stories, and criticism. Following the war he emigrated to Argentina, where he died in exile in 1958.

Career Grau published twenty-five plays over the course of fifty-five years. His most celebrated work is El señor de Pigmalión (1921), which remained relatively unknown in Spain during his lifetime, though it was successful in Europe and Latin America. Grau has stated that he writes plays 'with the greatest intensity possible within the limits of classical harmony'. Modern scholars have identified him as a 'psychological idealist'. :23
