Description
- Abstract:
- Considering the literary and artistic production of key figures from the Orpheu generation, this essay examines their transnational links to counterparts in the European avant-garde through acquaintance and epistolary networks. More specifically, it does so by focusing on the intersections between literature and the visual arts in works by writers and artists and the periodicals in which they published between 1915 and 1917, to argue that their aesthetic hybridity reflects the experimentalism in the arts of this period animated by the goal of creating "the total work of art", which is central to European modernism and actively practiced by the Portuguese modernists.
- Considerando a produção literária e artística de figuras centrais da geração de Orpheu, este ensaio examina as relações transnacionais que estas estabeleceram com os seus contrapartes na vanguarda europeia por meio de redes de familiaridade e epistolares. Mais especificamente, fá-lo ao focar as intersecções entre a literatura e as artes visuais nas obras destes escritores e artistas e nos periódicos em que publicavam entre 1915 e 1917, arguindo que o seu hibridismo estético reflete o experimentalismo nas artes deste período animado pelo fim de criar "a obra de arte total", que preside ao modernismo europeu e foi ativamente praticado pelos modernistas portugueses.
