Resumen: This work studies two poetic portraits published by Jorge Guillén in Final: those of Luis Cernuda and Vicente Aleixandre. They are a caricature and a eulogy. The analysis leads to a reflection on their meaning in Aire Nuestro, together with certain weaknesses and some incoherence on the part of the author. The differences between the texts, very visible in the elements reiterated in both, such as the use of questions or the way of capturing the voice of the other, end up outlining a sort of mirror in which the portraitist glimpses himself and which highlights the facet of self-portrait that every portrait entails, or what it supposes as a means of expression of the subjectivity underlying the protagonist’s gaze.
