| Summary: | <p>Primarily, the article approaches Alejo Carpentier’s poetics understood as the result of processes of transculturation that incorporate the author’s transoceanic contacts with the European avant garde movements, mainly French surrealism, and anthropology. Secondly, the analysis considers the paintings produced by Wilfredo Lam in the 1940’s following the principles of Carpentier’s magic realism and next compares them with Jackson Pollock’s production of the 1930’s and 1940’s. Both Lam’s and Pollock’s work shows processes of transculturation in which Carl Jung’s deep psychology, as well as surrealism and cubism, are essential constitutive elements.</p> |
