Helice
Hélice (Spanish; German: Propeller ) was an Ecuadorian avant-garde magazine founded by the painter Camilo Egas (1889–1962). There were a total of five editions published between April and September 1926.
The editor of the magazine was the journalist and playwright Raúl Andrade . Some of the artistic trends heralded in Hélice were ultraism , creationism , surrealism , futurism and indigenism .
The name of the publication was chosen as an allusion to the propeller drive, which Egas and Andrade considered to be a futuristic symbol of the Ecuadorian culture of the time. The content of the magazine included manifestos, poems, stories, interviews, cartoons, art reviews, opinion pieces, illustrations, reproductions of paintings and sculptures, translations and scores.
The magazine's slogan was defined by the poet Gonzalo Escudero in the magazine's first issue as follows:
" Comprendemos que el Arte es la alquimia de la inverosimilitud, porque si el Arte fuera la verdad, la expresión artística no existiría ... Sólo el artista crea, multiplica, destruye ... (Eng. We understand that art is the alchemy of It is implausible, because if art were the truth, there would be no artistic expression ... Only the artist creates, multiplies, destroys ... "
The first issue of the magazine appeared on April 26, 1926 and had a pronounced socialist tendency.
