The gradual loss of legitimacy of patriarchy and its system of values in the late twentieth century gave rise to forms of art suffused with a new perspective on representations of masculinity. In this sense, there has been a redefinition or, rather, a deconstruction of any reading that reifies the concept in a rigid, unchanging object. In this essay, Jesús Martínez Oliva examines the debates on gender that have put masculinity under the spotlight of critical analysis, and addresses those artistic proposals in which Western hegemonic virility has been displaced by marginal masculinities and their constructive and performative visions.
