Abstract
The main aim of this research is to develop a critical analysis on the beard boom in the last 10th western society, based on the study of various artistic and visual practices stablished on this corporal attribute. From an analytical and comparative methodological perspective, we have contrasted a selection of artistic proposals starting from the contributions of masculinity studies, and various publications that have recently addressed this issue, delving into the construction process and the codes of representation of the hegemonic masculinity in our culture. The results from this confrontation have allowed us to verify the capacities of artistic and visual practices to address the presence of facial hair as one of the favorite anatomical marks in the western and patriarchal social imaginary to embody, represent, consolidate and differentiate the privileged model of traditional masculinity. And, on the other, understand its resurgence as a symptom of the strengthening of emerging conservative masculinities in our days.
