Abstract

This article attempts to clarify and discuss the relations between Modern Art and the imaginaries of the artistic Alterities. The intent is to show how, in contrast do the aesthetic and ways of representation of the classical and romantic arts, one of the points of rupture of several occidental artists, which can be yet classified as moderns, was precisely a new posture in relation to the Art of the other peoples. The essays aboard more specifically the alterities referent to the oriental peoples and the alterities referents to the Black Africa, showing how, working with a assimilation of the “other”, the modern occidental artists had success in recreate his own art.
