Tradición y religiosidad en las estéticas de los movimientos de vanguardia de la primera mitad del siglo XX

Abstract

This article is a study on the conception that the avant-garde aesthetics of the first half of the 20th century hold on tradition, both on the artistic tradition and on the cultural tradition, in its broad sense. Furthermore, it aims to link this conception of tradition with the religious claim that some artistic and theoretical expressions possess that were born in the heart of these avant-garde movements. With these tools it will be possible to determine if there is any relationship between the judgments that the aesthetics of these movements had on tradition, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, their search, approach or experimentation with some type of religiosity through their art. Based on this investigation we will be able to know some elements of the special appreciation that these movements had on the culture that they had to experience.
