El objetivo de este trabajo es reivindicar la importancia de “Una tendencia de arte y vida. Notas sobre el Futurismo” de Juan Mas y Pi, ignorado sistemáticamente por la crítica como parte integrante del corpus textual que generó el movimiento de Marinetti en América Latina. Propongo, además, que su aporte no se reduce a un comentario de adhesión pasiva al movimiento futurista sino que defenderé que es un texto programático en el que se propone un pensamiento estético fundamentado en la unión entre arte y vida enunciado en una trama cultural compleja que ha condicionado su invisibilidad e importancia histórica y crítica.
The purpose of this article is to recover the relevance of a text , “A Tendency of Art and Life. Notes on Futurism”, by Juan Mas y Pi, that has been systematically ignored by critics, even though it is an integral part of the textual corpus that the Marinetti’s movement generated in Latin America. I also propose that his contribution is not merely a passive comment adhering to the Futurist movement. As I will advocate, it is a programmatic text that puts forward an aesthetic way of thinking based on the union between art and life. Due to being articulated in a complex cultural plot, his work has been unjustly neglected despite its historical and critical significance.
