1981 1984 Argentinian Julio Aisa
EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait captures the enigmatic and intellectual essence of Argentinian writer Julio Cortázar (1914-1984). Taken in the year of 1981, the photograph offers a glimpse into the final chapter of Cortázar's life, a time marked by continued literary production and international acclaim. Born on August 26, 1914, in Belgium to Argentine parents, Cortázar spent much of his formative years in Europe before returning to Argentina in the late 1930s. His literary career began in earnest in the 1940s, with the publication of his first collection of short stories, "Bestiario," in 1942. Over the following decades, Cortázar would go on to produce a diverse body of work, including novels, short stories, essays, and poetry. His writing, characterized by its surrealist elements, experimental structure, and exploration of the human condition, would come to define the Latin American literary boom of the mid-20th century. In the 1960s, Cortázar gained international recognition with the publication of his novel "House Trap," which was translated into multiple languages and garnered widespread critical acclaim. The author's later years were marked by continued productivity and numerous awards, including the prestigious Cervantes Prize in 1976. This photograph, taken just a few years before Cortázar's death in 1984, offers a poignant reminder of the enduring legacy of this influential and innovative writer. As we gaze into his piercing eyes, we are transported into the labyrinthine worlds of his imagination and left to ponder the mysteries of the human experience that he so masterfully explored throughout his career.
