Florida group

The Florida group (Sp.: grupo Florida) were a Buenos Aires-based avant-garde literary group in the 1920s, known for their embrace of "art for art's sake". They were identified with the magazines Proa and Martín Fierro, the latter named after the long poem Martín Fierro, generally considered the greatest work of nineteenth-century Argentinian literature. The group is also often referred to as the Martín Fierro group (Sp. "grupo Martín Fierro").

Among the members of the Florida group were Oliverio Girondo, Jorge Luis Borges, Norah Lange, Francisco Luis Bernárdez, Leopoldo Marechal, Nicolás Olivari, Conrado Nalé Roxlo, and Raúl González Tuñón. Olivari, who founded the more political Boedo group, later became a member of the Florida group; Roberto Arlt was also associated with both groups; González Tuñón, despite his identification with the Florida group, is known for the social themes of his poetry.
