Abstract

Foreign travelers explore Peru during the second half of the XIX century, capturing impressions of the Indian culture; simultaneously in Lima, Peruvian photographers and those from abroad strengthen a market of images. At the beginning of the XX century and for four decades, the Indigenist movement struggled for consolidation. This revaluation process, where the ethnic repositions itself and its hierarchy, is a questioned matter in the Arts. As well as Liberal Arts, other aesthetical expressions were implicated by indigenous ideas, going through them so that they could emerge nourished from those principles. The passage throughout this space and its impact on the body of the photographic image, become the subject this work intends to explore, considering diverse moments of the Andean photography and its artificers.
