Resumen
Descripción
A partir de los años 20 se desplegaron movimientos artísticos en Latinoamérica caracterizados por su perfil identitario y rupturista. En Brasil un grupo de artistas nucleados en torno al modernismo bucearon en las raíces nativas y en tradiciones culturales regionales previas a la colonización. El artista pernambucano Vicente do Rego Monteiro produjo numerosos dibujos en dos espléndidos libros: Légendes, croyances et talismans des Indiens de l’Amazone de 1923 y Quelques Visages de París de 1925. Este artículo propone reflexionar sobre la incidencia de los diseños de la cultura Marajoara en la gráfica de Do Rego Monteiro, bosquejando una serie de herramientas devenidas de la antropología brasileña y entablando vínculos entre aquellas producciones visuales y la historia local. Estos intercambios estéticos y simbólicos le otorgan a las imágenes el valor de una importante fuente documental sobre las relaciones entre centro y periferia (paradigma que también será discutido), entre vanguardias europeas y latinoamericanas.
As from the 1920s, Latin America saw the development of artistic movements characterized by their identity-based, groundbreaking nature. In Brazil, a group of artists centered around modernism delved into pre-colonization native roots and regional cultural traditions. Vicente do Rego Monteiro, from Pernambuco, provided numerous illustrations for two splendid books: Légendes, croyances et talismans des Indiens de l’Amazone (1923) and Quelques Visages de Paris (1925). This article is aimed at reflecting upon the influence of Marajoara culture designs upon do Rego Monteiro’s work by drafting a series of tools derived from Brazilian anthropology and building links among such visual productions and local history. These aesthetic and symbolic exchanges provide images with the value of a significant documentary source about the relations between center and periphery (a paradigm that will also be discussed) between European and Latin American avant-gardes.
