Notations for a history of the painting in Latin America

Abstract

This article is constituted by three notations to an Art History in Latin America, considering the pictorial arsenal produced in the XIX century and in the first half of the XX century. This is the first enterprise that intends to sketch some senses to the image, specially considering those works in which the feminine body presents in a more explicit way some sensibilities and perceptions inherent to the plastic thought, as well as to outline a problematic about the imagistic arsenal and its approach possibilities, specially in what refers to questions related to chronology and anachronism, text and context, copy and original, proximity and distance, superficies and depth.
