El Periódico Martín Fierro En Las Artes Y Las Letras 1924 1927
Resumen del Libro
A major exhibition that follows the history and aesthetic character of the most representative publication of the Argentinean avant-garde. The historical climate when the newspaper Martín Fierro was first published was fundamental in the definition of its main characteristics: humor, and polemic contents, forms and protagonists, (not common before), with articles dedicated to plastic arts, architecture, literature, poetry, book reviews and other pragmatic texts produced between 1924 and 1927, inaugurating a new cultural conception through the -almost intact- early 19th century romanticism, and modernist discourse. The exhibition also included 100 works by famous national and international artists: Paul Gauguin, Pablo Picasso, Carlo Carrá, Pedro Figari, Emilio Pettoruti, Norah Borges and Xul Solar, who illustrated the first editions of the young authors who during the 1920s transformed Argentinean literature: Calcomanías by Oliverio Girondo, Luna de enfrente by Jorge Luis Borges, La calle de la tarde by Norah Lange, Prismas by Eduardo González Lanuza and many more short stories published in the 45 issues published.
