  Second Spanish Republic - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Second Spanish Republic (1931 – 1939) was the second and last period in Spanish history in which the election of both the positions of Head of State and Head of government were in the hands of the people.
Spanish nationalists later pointed at this as an indication that left-wing republicans only supported democracy when they won elections, thus justifying a similar approach from the right.
The Republic formally fell when General Franco and his troops took Madrid on April 1, 1939, with the assistance of Franco's "fifth column".

While an interesting experiment, the Spanish government’s adoption of a nonaggressive foreign policy in the midst of a rearming Europe was unwise and dangerous, as evidenced by the ease with which it fell victim to a violent military uprising in 1936.
Republic was declared in April 1931, replacing decades of dictatorship and liberal monarchy, a new utopian spirit entered Spanish politics, at least those of the Left.

 International Paintings and Sculpture | Elegy to the Spanish Republic
The recurring motif that defines the Elegies to the Spanish Republic first appeared in 1948 in a pen and ink drawing by Motherwell which was intended to illustrate a poem by writer and critic Harold Rosenberg in the second (unpublished) issue of the periodical Possibilities.
Elegy to the Spanish Republic 1958, which is uncharacteristically unnumbered, was probably painted in the second half of that year after the artist returned from Europe, perhaps with renewed commitment to the series.
Elegy to the Spanish Republic 1958 is particularly interesting because it is the earliest of the Elegies in which the artist has used the acrylic paint, Magma, a brand invented by Leonard Bocour, which a number of major American artists experimented with in the late 1950s.
