Sinopse: The Labyrinth Of Modern Brazil Aims To Analyze The Trajectory Of Art Criticism From The 1930s To The 1950s, How This Criticism Interpreted The Process Of Producing The Aesthetic Object And What Marks It Left On Our Way Of Enjoying The Work Of Art. Trying To Elucidate This Movement That Moves From The Aesthetic To The Political Is A Task That Is Both Fascinating And Revealing, As It Alerts Us To The Role Of Art As An Instigating Agent Of Our Submerged Powers, Reigning In A Field Inaccessible To Any Kind Of Effort. Purely Rational. By Diving Into This Past And Observing The Peculiarities Of The Works Of Mário De Andrade, Ruben Navarra, Lourival Gomes Machado And Mário Pedrosa, We Seek To Reconstruct Not Only Certain Ideas, But The Specificities Of The Aesthetic Perspectives, What They Hoped To Obtain In The Result Of The Works Of Art And The Relationships Between The Works Of These Critics, The National And Foreign Conjunctures From The Special Moment Of Modernism And The Evaluation Of The True Dimension Of Its Ruptures.
