This research presents the initial contacts between artists and architects under the wing of the architectural avant-garde’s ideas. It also investigates the dissemination of its texts, as well as the expansion of the principles of the Congrès International d’Architecture Moderne (CIAM) in Chile. The aim of the article is to examine the contacts between the French and Chilean artistic avant-garde by addressing concomitant themes, the intersections between art and architecture, and the main ways of the penetration of modern ideas. The methodology involved the historiographic identification of the texts transmitted from France to Chile, the specification of their main ideas, and the debates that enabled their adoption and adaptation. The paper reviews the role of specialized dissemination between 1923 and 1936 in two publications: the section “Notas de Arte” (Art Notes) (1923- 1927) in the newspaper La Nación and the magazine ARQuitectura (1935-1936), both published under particular initiatives interested in renewing and updating the Chilean artistic scene. On their pages these two publications gathered Chilean artists and architects who had in common a strong interest in the actions of the European avant-garde, thereby constructing a body of argument that closely linked art and architecture. As a consequence of the circulation of these texts, the city, at that time an organism on the verge of obsolescence, received increased attention. Here, the CIAM debate was addressed by its main protagonists – Le Corbusier, for example –, thus envisaging the applicability of its ideas in Chile. Specifically, the texts reveal that during the 1930s the absence of organized collective housing – a focal point for hygienic, social and formal problems – fostered the execution of large contemporary housing complexes determined by modern ideas.Keywords: artistic avant-garde, architecture magazines, modern architecture. |

Esta investigación expone los contactos originarios entre artistas y arquitectos al abrigo de las ideas de la vanguardia arquitectónica. Indaga también en la difusión de sus textos, así como en la expansión de los principios de los Congresos Internacionales de Arquitectura Moderna, CIAM, en Chile. El trabajo tiene por objetivo examinar los contactos entre la vanguardia artística francesa y la chilena atendiendo cuáles fueron los temas concomitantes, los cruces entre arte y arquitectura, y las principales vías de penetración del ideario moderno. La metodología incluye la identificación historiográfica de los textos transmitidos desde Francia a Chile, la individualización de sus ideas capitales y los debates que permitieron su adopción y adaptación. El trabajo revisa el papel de la divulgación especializada realizada entre 1923 y 1936 enmarcado en dos publicaciones: la sección “Notas de Arte” (1923-1927) del Diario La Nación y la revista ARQuitectura (1935-1936), ambas publicadas al amparo de iniciativas particulares interesadas por la renovación y actualización del escenario artístico chileno. Estas dos publicaciones congregaron sobre sus páginas a artistas y arquitectos chilenos que mantuvieron en común un elevado interés por las acciones de la vanguardia europea, construyendo un cuerpo argumental que vinculaba estrechamente el arte y la arquitectura. Consecuencia de la divulgación de estos textos fue la atención sobre la ciudad, entonces un organismo al borde de la obsolescencia. Aquí, el debate CIAM fue particularmente atendido a través de sus principales protagonistas – Le Corbusier, por ejemplo –, vislumbrando su aplicabilidad en Chile. En particular, revelan que, durante los años 30, la ausencia de la vivienda colectiva organizada – foco de los problemas higiénicos, sociales y formales –, propiciaba la ejecución de grandes conjuntos habitacionales contemporáneos determinados por el ideario moderno.Palabras clave: vanguardia artística, revistas de arquitectura, arquitectura moderna.
