The Portuguese modernism that erupted from 1914 on was characterized by a political traditionalist, nationalist and anti-liberal complexion. Personalities of this generation, such as António Ferro and Raul Leal, soon manifested their interest in fascism and their disbelief in the Republic. This interest naturally led them to express a political and cultural vision that eventually saw the confirmation of their nationalist yearnings in the ideas of the Estado Novo. Nevertheless, also in Spain, Eugenio D'Ors, who was a friend of Salazar and Antonio Ferro, is a paradigmatic case of an intellectual. He has collaborated with modernist magazines such as Quatre gats or Pèl & Ploma, but later, he breaks with Modernism for thinking these aesthetics were sterile and without direction.
