ALBORNOZ TOLOZA, Valentina Andrea  and  CID HIDALGO, Juan Daniel. NOSTALGIC DECREPITUDE IN THE REALISM OF ADOLFO COUVE (1940-1998): «EL PICADERO», «EL PARQUE», AND «BALNEARIO». Linguist.lit. [online]. 2022, n.81, pp.406-425.  Epub Feb 24, 2023. ISSN 0120-5587.  https://doi.org/10.17533/udea.lyl.81a19.

With the present work we maintain that the decrepit bodies, described in three short works by Adolfo Couve, end up clinging to the spirituality of juvenile anatomies. The reading advocated tries to unravel the allegory of an inevitable ruin that creeps into the most remote spaces of the nation and that exhibits a mimetic sample of the gray and failed bourgeoisie, in the eyes of an artist whose work carefully observes the scope of social chiaroscuro.

Keywords : ruin; realism; nostalgia; allegory.
