Abstract
Drawing from Flávio de Carvalho’s oeuvre, thought and procedures—and actualizing them—this essay construes a test of relevance and of archive in which the artist’s initiatives and “Brazilian/Paulista Modernism” (as both a historiographical construct and later a theory of Brazilian literature and art) are confronted. The results presented are solely an inscription and a provocation: the history of the Brazilian artistic avant-garde is yet to be made.
