Raúl Gustavo Aguirre

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Raúl Gustavo Aguirre (born January 2, 1927 in Buenos Aires , † January 18, 1983 in Olivos , Province of Buenos Aires ) was an Argentine literary critic and poet.

In 1950 Aguirre took over the editorial management of the magazine “Poesía Buenos Aires” together with Nicolás Espiro . This was considered the mouthpiece of the Grupo Madi (Manifiesto invencionista) and emerged from Surrealism based on the models of Vicente Huidobro and Guillaume Apollinaire .

reception

By his own admission, Aguirre saw poetry as "... one of the few, perhaps the only means of true human communication".

After the First World War , modern Argentine literature split into two camps, Grupo Florida and Grupo Boedo . Aguirre, also influenced by ultraism , belongs to the former as an advocate of a strengthened neo-humanism .
