Manifesto Das Sete Artes Ricciotto Canudo.pdf Jun 2026

E essa arte surgiu, finalmente, com o Cinematógrafo.

Canudo rejected the idea that cinema is merely recorded theater or photography. Instead, he called it a new, independent artistic language.

If you cannot find the Portuguese PDF, locate the original French text (Gallica – BNF) and use a reliable translator. However, the nuance of "Artes" (Arts vs. Crafts) is unique to the Portuguese critical tradition.

Canudo established a specific order for the arts, which remains the standard classification used by many art institutions today: Architecture 2nd Art: Sculpture 3rd Art: Painting 4th Art: Music 5th Art: Poetry (Literature) 6th Art: Dance 7th Art: Cinema
