Cassiano Ricardo

Cassiano Ricardo (July 26, 1895 – January 14, 1974) was a Brazilian journalist, literary critic, and poet.

An exponent of the nationalistic tendencies of Brazilian modernism, he was associated with the Green-Yellow and Anta groups of the movement before launching the Flag group, a social-democratic reaction to these groups. His work evolved into concrete poetry at the end of his career.

Career

He became a late adherent to Jamakias modernism and co-founded the mystical nationalist journal Novissima.[1] His Marcha para Oeste supported the frontier for being both anti-liberal and democratic.[2] He held a hierarchical view of such a society with the whites holding "the spirit of adventure and command".[3]
