Zusammenfassung:This work investigates the position of the visual arts within the intellectual and creative experience of Brazilian modernist writer and poet Oswald de Andrade (1890- 1954). It analyses not only his writings on art but also the presence of the visual arts in his poetry books Pau Brasil [Brazil Wood] (1925) and Primeiro caderno do aluno de poesia Oswald de Andrade [First notebook of the poetry student Oswald de Andrade] (1927), as well as in the novels Os Condenados [The Doomed] (1922- 1934) and Marco Zero [Ground Zero] (1943-1945). This work also discusses the relationships the writer had with Brazilian and foreign artists, as well as his participation in relevant situations involving the visual arts in Brazil, such as the Semana de Arte Moderna [Modern Art Week]; Tarsila do Amaral's first exhibition in Brazil; the Clube dos Artistas Modernos [Modern Art Club]; the Salões de Maio [May Salons]. The aim is to examine how Oswald de Andrade took part in an important period of the history of modern art in Brazil, especially at the city of São Paulo, from the 1910s to the 1940s, which are the chronological landmarks assumed here. "Indeed, "A Boxer in the Arena" is interesting not only to demonstrate how much the visual arts were fundamental for Oswald de Andrade to structure his thinking as a critic, poet and novelist, but also for inserting in this reflection the role that the works of his wife, Tarsila do Amaral, had for its effective realization."
