LUELMO JARENO, José María de. “No lo suelen llamar Arte, pero lo es”. Strategies and artistic ways in Jusep Torres Campalans, by Max Aub. Lit. mex [online]. 2015, vol.26, n.2, pp.67-96. ISSN 2448-8216.  https://doi.org/10.19130/iifl.litmex.26.2.2015.789.

One of the salient features of Jusep Torres Campalans, by Max Aub, is the fact of stressing and questioning certain attributes of the avant-garde by using resources that are modernist in themselves. To the common emphasis on the interdisciplinarity of the novel or on its cubist structure — a qualification which, although adequate, needs to be subjected to revision —, this article adds the analysis of some typical characteristics of modern art that are also present in it but have hardly been taken into account, such as the adoption of methodologies based on the destruction-creation complex, the consideration of the work as an open device or the affinity of the material result with the so-called artist's book.

Palabras llave : Max Aub; Jusep Torres Campalans; avantgarde; artist's novel; artist's book.
