In the short story “Manuscrito hallado en un bolsillo” (Manuscript found in a pocket), from the book Octaedro, by Julio Cortázar, there are some references to the work of the Dutch painter Piet Mondrian. Taking this into consideration, we seek to analyze the importance of these references for the meaning of this short story, as well as study the points at which, disregarding the specificities of their respective arts, Cortázar’s text is or is not in contact with Mondrian’s work in relation to esthetic data. When we speak about esthetic data we are referring to the processes of text construction and to the production of meaning based on the way the text (the short story or the painting) is structured.
