Una memoria de 75 años, 1935-2010

An ominous transitive verb entered the language in 1970s South America: to "disappear" someone. Some of these artists had family disappeared; others resisted or were forced into exile. Their work fights amnesia, serving as a stay against further atrocities.

Winner of the 2010 Isabel de Polanco Award. At the end of the 15th century, Castilian Spanish disembarked in America to begin the long journey that would transform it into Spanish. From those days to our time, the language has been in a constant state of transformation, transforming its speakers in the process. This work is much more than a lesson in history; it is fundamental reading for all those interested in a vital area of our everyday lives: the language that unites us.

This series examines each artist's life and times and offers an analysis of their masterpieces, as well as comparative samples of works by the artist's contemporaries. Text copyright 2004 Lectorum Publications, Inc.
