José Sabogal Peruvian 1888-1956
Cholita Ayacuchana (Young Girl from Ayacucho) , c. 1937
Oil on wood
A prominent artist, educator, and writer, Sabogal played a pivotal role in founding the artistic movement known as indigenism in Peru in the 1920s. In Cholita Ayacuchana (Young Girl from Ayacucho), an indigenous woman is set against a neutral tan background. Crowned by a wide-brimmed straw hat, her hair falls in two cascading braids on either side of her face. Her gaze is directed at the viewer. Sabogal’s portrayal of this young, self-possessed woman contrasted with most contemporaneous representations of the marginalized Indigenous peoples in the highlands of Peru.
