Taking as a starting point the work of two precursors of the Surrealist revolution in Portugal in the 1940’s and 1950’s, this essay will engage in a metacritical commentary around the debate on literary and artistic experimentations that break with outdated models, eliminate the dissipation of the distance between lyric, narrative and plasticity by means of medial combination, and instabilize the traditional dynamics of aesthetic reception. The problematization of the dialogue between poetry and visual narrative allows us to perform a reading of hybrid works under the light of theories from the field of Literary Studies and Intermediality, applied here directly to the productions of Mário Cesariny (1923-2006) and Mário-Henrique Leiria (1923-1980), whose centenaries are celebrated in 2023.
