Abstract

Orpheu, the first and most relevant magazine of the Portuguese modernist movement, was intended to be a Luso-brazilian publication: it was designed in Brazil, it had a Brazilian co-director and it should have been sold in Brazil. Nevertheless, in each of the two printed issues there was only one Brazilian collaborator (in the third issue, printed but never distributed, there was none), and neither was known for a particular modernist vigor. Orpheu could not provide a big contribution to the “tightening” of Portuguese and Brazilian intellectuals, as Fernando Pessoa had claimed. But it was and it is still of great symbolic importance that the two foreign collaborators were Brazilians, and the projects’ “first seeds” were launched in Brazil.
