Many authors agree that the Theory of Art is an underdeveloped academic discipline within the Cuban History of Art field, and its epistemic evolution has been resolved in the importation of foreign models into our artistic spaces of art practices and criticism. The present papers entitled Jorge Mañach and the Unknown Path of a Cuban Theory of Style, demonstrate the presence of theoretical and methodological elements that allow substantiate the contribution of this author to the discipline in the early XX Century.
The study focuses on Historia y estilo, published in 1944, which includes four texts: "The Nation and the Historical Formation", "Historical Scheme of the Cuban People", "The Style of the Revolution" and "The Style in Cuba and its Historical meaning”.
We worked from a transdisciplinary perspective anchored in the Theory of Art History and Sociology of Knowledge to present Mañach’s Theory of Historical Circumtanciality of the Style and the social and institutional contexts, as well as the intellectual network that allowed its emergence and legitimation during the first half of the XX Century in Cuba.
