Al horitaña de la montazonte. Procedimientos cubistas en Altazor de Vicente Huidobro

Abstract

The writer Vicente Huidobro has often been associated with the cubist movement. In general, however, this association has more commonly been justified through the author’s biography and historical context than through his own written work. This paper follows the line of analysis focusing on the author’s own work through an incisive study of the morphology of Huidobro’s poem Altazor. This essay intends to show how there exists in Altazor a detailed re-imagining of some of the techniques employed by cubist artists.
