This article presents Mário de Andrade’s thinking on aesthetics in the period from the Modern Art Week of 1922, when he read the essay “A escrava que não é Isaura”, to his final writings in the 1940s. Andrade’s aesthetics points to two directions. The first is the need for a renewal of artistic production in Brazil. The second is a consideration of art and its forms in their social dimension. These two directions appear both combined and in a rather tense opposition, in consonance with the distinctive traits of Andrade’s personality. A key aspect in this regard is his critical review of Modernism in his final years, in writings such as “O artista e o artesão”, of 1938, and in his 1942 conference entitled “O movimento modernista”.
