Abstract
This work explores José Marianno Filho’s interpretation of the Brazilian colonial Iberian heritage. He presents his program of the traditional Brazilian house and the Brazilian city as fundamental elements of his narrative built in the 1920s and recorded in the pages of O Jornal. The hypothesis is that the author approached Iberism as a primitivism, that is, a cultural regression in relation to eclecticism, which resulted in the search for the essentiality in which Brazilian modernism was later asserted.
