Description
Summary:This article examines a set of sixty seven letters that Uruguayan narrator Juan Carlos Onetti sent, from Montevideo to Buenos Aires, to Argentinean critic and art historian Julio E. Payró during the 1937-1955 period. This analysis focuses on a series of topics and questions of utmost significance in terms of « onettian » fiction. This approach synthesizes various relevant themes: the culture of his time, the analyses of the cinema of the moment, remarks on the books he reads and, most importantly, his reflections upon painting and his constant reference to literature as having a key role in his aesthetic reflections. Additionally, this analysis incorporates the significant figure of Constructivist painter Joaquín Torres García to the already existing extensive cultural exchange between the two shores of the Rio de la Plata.
