Latin American art and the diaspora

Learning scheme 9 suggests utilising the University of Essex Collection of Latin American Art (UECLAA) website as a basic resource and first port of call to study the art of Peru (topic 12) and Ecuador (topic 7) . . . and by extension the art of, or from, most of the other Latin American countries.

The link Peru above takes you to an introductory article by Luis Rebaza (King’s College, University of London).

Do read this first, especially if you are new to the study of Peru. Following the introductory article, eleven works by Peruvian artists are shown on the website together with bibliographical and further research information.
