Ten of the thirteen painted poems, concept and creation of the Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro constituted the exhibition at the Gallery of Foundation Telefonica, in Santiago de Chile. The non-rigidly chronological display included letters, manuscripts, and portraits made by well-known intellectuals and artists from Huidobro’s times, who were his good friends. A true acknowledgement of the dream of this “adventurer of culture”: to fuse all arts into one and then experience the aesthetic pleasure, boundless, unlimited.
Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro’s first years supposedly were frenzied. After campaigning that Cubism be renamed Creationism (in 1921) he undertook an impetuous lecture tour to Paris, Berlin, Stockholm and Madrid. He abandoned all that the following year and ventured into the world of fashion, music and the plastic arts. An extract of his poem Tour Eiffel (1918) was musicalized by Varèse with the title Chanson de la- Haut in the course of the first half of 1922.
