El significado del color en la Nación Andina. Nación y Estado en Gráfica: Cromática andina

Abstract

Mónica Polanco’s doctoral thesis will focus on the construction of identity in design in Ecuador, based on the identification of characteristics found in the design of stamps, within a national context defined by constitutional periods in the country in question. Consequently, the work that we present appropriates the methodology of the author, to address identity features of countries such as Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador, in relation to the use of color as a symbol of the Andean as a shared feature between these nations, in particular cases such as the architecture of Freddy Mamani in Bolivia, the muralism of Elliot Tupac in Peru, or the pictorial art of Xavier Portilla in Ecuador. From the analysis of the discourse, through the systematic and interpretive description of the qualitative paradigm, these corpuses are described as representative manifestations of identity from the vision of the Andean nation, since they respond to contemporary contexts of national reaffirmation, in dialogue with pre-hispanic roots and pop art.
