Latin American modernism

Latin American modernism was a cultural movement from the late 19th to early 20th century that aimed to break away from traditional European influences and foster a unique regional identity. It emphasized innovation in literature, art, and architecture, blending modern ideas with Latin America's diverse cultural heritage. Artists and writers explored new styles, experimented with form and expression, and sought to reflect local realities and landscapes. This movement helped establish Latin America’s distinctive voice in the global cultural scene, emphasizing creativity, national pride, and a desire to modernize while honoring regional roots.
