Abstract

A city constitutes itself as a privileged space to create aesthetics of modernity, since it provides new perspectives concerning the notion of space and time, allowing so the artists, in its continual flow of changes, to absorb the signs of the new times. The present article has the purpose to analyze the work of two modern Platine artistes, Joaquín Torres-García and Xul Solar, and to verify how a city is used in the elaboration of their new poetics and at the same time, how it has been conceded.
