Since the beginnings of the 20th century, Latin American artists have traveled to Europe and entered into contact with avant-garde movements. They have developed proposals related to Expressionism, Cubism, and Futurism, while actively participating in related exhibitions and debates, in cities such as Paris, Madrid, Barcelona, Berlin, Florence, and Milan. Their works and manifests insist on the autonomy of art and drift away from painting and sculpture as means of representing reality. During the decade of the 20s, many of them returned to their home countries, and as protagonists of their national scenes, they lead different battles between the traditional and the “new”. Xul Solar’s Neocriollism (Argentina), Tarsila do Amaral’s Anthropophagia (Brazil), as well as Rafael Barradas’ and Joaquín Torres-García’s Vibrationism and Constructive Universalism (Uruguay) are only a few key examples of those avant-garde movements typical of the Latin American regional modernity.
