Synopsis "El Pintor de la Vida Moderna (in Spanish)"

Como bien detectó en su momento Walter Benjamin, Charles Baudelaire (1821-1867) encarnó todas las tensiones y contradicciones de la modernidad, época (en el sentido lato de la palabra) de la cual fue uno de los principales alumbradores. Obra clave para la historia cultural del mundo contemporáneo, El pintor de la vida moderna (1863), objeto de múltiples interpretaciones desde el momento de su publicación, toma como pretexto la labor del «Sr. G.» (el hoy olvidado Constantin Guys) para poner sobre el tapete de forma sutil las numerosas tensiones aludidas tanto en el ámbito de la sociedad, como en los del arte y de la estética. Otras obras de Baudelaire en esta colección: Las flores del mal, El esplín de París y Los paraísos artificiales. Traducción e introducción de Silvia Acierno y Julio Baquero Cruz

(Paris, 1821-1867) He is among the most influential poets of the 19th century, and probably also of the entire history of world literature. Expelled from the Lycée Louis-le-Grand despite obtaining the title of Superior Bachelor, in 1940 he enrolled in the faculty of law. He then began to frequent the Latin Quarter, where he met Gérard de Nerval, Sainte-Beuve, and Balzac, plunging uncontrollably into the world of smoke, opium, and prostitution of the Parisian bohemia. Due to his impious behavior, his family sent him to the South Seas. Upon his return, however, Baudelaire would translate the works of Edgar Allan Poe into French and carry out his most famous works: from the scandalous poetry collection The Flowers of Evil (1857) to the texts of Artificial Paradises (1960) and the posthumous Paris Spleen (1869). Harshly criticized and vilified in life for the scandalous nature of his work and behavior, Baudelaire died syphilitic and impoverished, unaware of the invaluable legacy he had bequeathed to posterity. Champion of symbolism, standard-bearer of romanticism, and precursor of decadentism, his body lies buried in the Montparnasse Cemetery.
