Difficult to read. Produced by Vasco Salgado "K4 O Quadrado Azul" by José de Almada Negreiros is a literary work that blurs the line between poetry and manifesto, written in the early 20th century, specifically around the years 1917 to 1920. As a significant piece of modernist literature, it explores themes of identity, desire, and the intersection of art and social commentary, revealing a complex tapestry of human emotion and intellect. The book's title hints at a focus on abstraction and possibly geometric or philosophical concepts, suggesting that it navigates profound existential inquiries. The narrative centers on a meditative exploration of the self, an intricate interplay between the protagonist's perceptions and thoughts, often centered around an enigmatic "quadrado azul" (blue square). This motif serves as a focal point for the author's reflections on love, artistry, and the human condition, as the protagonist navigates personal desires, societal norms, and the complexities of existence. Through vivid imagery and innovative language, Almada Negreiros articulates a deep yearning for understanding and connection, embodying a cosmopolitan spirit while grappling with the weight of modern life. The text combines rich sensory experiences with philosophical musings, making it a thoughtful and challenging read for those interested in the intersections of art and existential thought.
