Abstract
The years spent in Europe fuelled Borges’s desire to introduce avant-garde aesthetics to Argentina, as seen in his role founding the two iterations of the magazine, Proa. In addition to verbal material, visual images were also prominent in the magazine. Anonther key point of reference in the cultural sphere of mid-1920s Buenos Aires was the magazine, ’Martin Fierro’, to which Borges contributed. The spirit of questioning the old and seeking innovation left its mark on Borges as both critic and creative writer.
