Manifestos

More about the book

In 1925, Huidobro's collection of manifestos emerged as a strategic response to the rising Surrealist movement and critiques from a rival Spanish critic. This pivotal year marked Huidobro's exploration of new artistic directions while he sought to reinforce his place in the avant-garde. The manifestos reflect a blend of seriousness and irony, particularly as they coexist with Surrealist texts that critique the very movement. Following this period, Huidobro produced significant works like Altazor and Temblor de cielo, showcasing his evolution and maturity as a poet.
