Isaac Díaz Pardo (22 August 1920 – 5 January 2012) was a Galician intellectual strongly attached to both Sargadelos and Cerámica do Castro.
He was an intellectual galicianist, painter, ceramist, designer, editor and businessman.
He was born in Santiago de Compostela and died in A Coruña. [1] [2]
In 2009, he received the Medalla de Oro al Mérito en las Bellas Artes (Gold Medal of Merit in Fine Arts) of Spain.
Isaac Díaz Pardo was the son of painter and scenographer Camilo Díaz Baliño. His childhood home was the venue for meetings connected to League of Friends of the Galician Language as Díaz Baliño was an active member. The meetings were attended by the likes of Castelao, Vicente Risco, Ramón Otero Pedrayo, Ramón Cabanillas, Antón Villar Ponte, Eduardo Blanco Amor and Francisco Asorey. He is considered part of the second generation of renovators of Galician art of the 20th century, known as Os renovadores (in Galician, the renovators).
Díaz Pardo's father was executed by the Nationalists soon after the beginning of the Spanish Civil War and he was forced into hiding in La Coruña, where he stayed with his uncle Indalecio and found work as a signwriter. After the war, he received a bursary from the Provincial Government of La Coruña that enabled him to study at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid between 1939 and 1942.
He later taught at The Catalan Royal Academy of Fine Arts of Saint George in Barcelona, and began to exhibit in Spain (La Coruña, Madrid and Vigo) and abroad (Europe and The Americas). He then switched to ceramics, and founded Cerámicas do Castro factory with several partners. At this point he experimented with the raw materials used in original 19th century works by Antonio Raimundo Ibáñez Llano y Valdés (notably from Sargadelos and Cervo). This resulted in ceramics of high quality.
In 1963, Isaac Díaz Pardo, with other prominent Galeguistas such as Luis Seoane, helped establish "Porcelanas de Magdalena", an experimental porcelain factory also known as "Laboratorio de Formas", in the town of Magdalena, Buenos Aires. This pioneering venture was a precursor to several industrial and cultural activities, including the revival of pottery production at Sargadelos, with the support of Cerámicas do Castro (1963), Museo Carlos Maside (1970), publishing house Ediciós do Castro (1963), the reinstated Seminario de Estudos Galegos (1970) and Instituto Galego de Información. Though initially a prominent figure in Grupo Sargadelos, Díaz Pardo was in dispute with company management at the time of his retirement.
As an essay writer and critic, Díaz Pardo made notable contributions to Xente do meu Rueiro, O ángulo de pedra, Galicia Hoy (with Luis Seoane), Paco Pixiñas (with Celso Emilio Ferreiro), El Marqués de Sargadelos, and Castelao. He also published many articles in newspapers such as La Voz de Galicia.
Alfonso Daniel Manuel Rodríguez Castelao, commonly known as Castelao, was a Galician politician, writer, painter and doctor. He is one of the fathers of Galician nationalism, promoting Galician identity and culture, and was one of the main names behind the cultural movement Xeración Nós. He was also one of the founders and president of the Galicianist Party and had a great influence on the renovating group of Galician art known as Os renovadores. Castelao is considered to be the most important figure in Galician culture of the 20th century.

Like several other Galician intellectuals of his generation, he was a member of Xeración Nós, of the Seminar of Galician Studies and the Irmandades da Fala, combining the cultural and linguistic activities he carried out in those institutions with a discrete participation in pro-Galician politics. However, his social and political activities were profoundly disrupted by the victory of nationalists in the Spanish Civil War, although in the 1940s he returned to his commitment to the spread of Galician culture as a full member of the Royal Galician Academy, and of the Instituto de Estudios Gallegos Padre Sarmiento.

He was part of the Father Sarmiento Institute for Galician Studies and the Royal Galician Academy, and was director and president of the Museum of the Galician People, member of the Council of Galician Culture, and a chronicler of Galicia.

Evaristo Martelo y Paumán del Nero Nuñez y Zuazo-Mondragón, 6th Marquess of Almeiras (1850–1928), was a Spanish aristocrat, writer and politician. He is known chiefly as a poet who contributed to emergence of the literary Galician and who is counted among protagonists of the so-called Rexurdimento. He perceived galego as a royal language of ancient rulers, framed in the Celtic mythology, and opposed the concept of Galician as a rural folk speak. Martelo engaged in few organisations related to the Galician culture and was a member of the Royal Galician Academy. Politically he supported the Traditionalist cause and served as leader of the Carlist provincial organisation in La Coruña; he has never engaged in buildup of the Galician nationalism.
