O texto definitivo do manifesto foi publicado em 1923, embora Canudo já debatesse suas ideias desde 1911 em ensaios como “A Nascimento de uma Sétima Arte” . Manifesto Das Sete Artes Ricciotto Canudo.pdf
Lembre-se de que Canudo escreveu isso na era do cinema mudo. Pense em como os filmes da época (como os de D.W. Griffith, de Sergei Eisenstein ou o Expressionismo Alemão) utilizavam o ritmo visual sem o auxílio do som sincronizado.
Canudo's vision for the seven arts was rooted in his deep understanding of the historical and cultural context of his time. He saw the early 20th century as a moment of great upheaval and transformation, marked by the rise of industrialization, urbanization, and technological innovation. Canudo believed that art had to adapt to this new reality, and that the traditional art forms of the past were no longer sufficient to express the complexities and anxieties of modern life.
Por fim, o manifesto estabelece um horizonte grandioso: o cinema deve ser o veículo da “arte total”, aquela síntese absoluta para a qual todas as outras artes sempre tenderam. “Necessitamos do Cinema para criar a arte total”, afirma Canudo. Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting

O Cinema é a arte total. É a arte do movimento e da luz. É a arte de exprimir a vida na sua mobilidade incessante. É a arte que cria um universo novo, um universo de sonho e de realidade, onde o homem pode encontrar a sua própria imagem, a imagem da sua alma.

The crucial shift from the sixth to the seventh art came when Canudo realized that his original synthesis was incomplete. In the 1911 version, he had failed to include dance as an independent, primary art form. By 1923, he had corrected this. He added dance as a third "rhythmic art" alongside music and poetry, all of which are rooted in the Rhythms of Time. With this addition, the expanded list ran: architecture, sculpture, painting, music, poetry, and dance—six arts that together constituted the plastic and rhythmic heritage of humanity. Cinema, as the great synthesizer, could now take its rightful place as the Seventh Art.
E, finalmente, sentindo a necessidade de exprimir a alegria e a dor do seu corpo pelo movimento, o homem criou a . A Dança, que é a arte do movimento, surgiu como a sexta arte.
Ricciotto Canudo's "Manifesto das Sete Artes" (Manifesto of the Seven Arts) fundamentally established cinema as a new art form, bridging the traditional "Arts of Space" (painting, sculpture) with the "Arts of Time" (music, poetry). Writing in the early 20th century, Canudo argued that this synthesis of light, motion, and technology constituted the "Seventh Art," creating a new aesthetic language.
