To deal with the work of José Gamarra, much more than a prologue would be needed. His painting, because of his trajectory, the forms he went through, the historical and political issues that he makes visible, is one of the most intriguing of his time, ours. What is the coherence that underlies Gamarra's painting? That is what we must try to discover. To this end, a methodical approach has been adopted: relying almost exclusively on the works themselves, considering them apart from what has been written about them, putting oneself in the position of the explorer of an unknown region. The elements of external interpretation used are data from the ancient and contemporary history of Latin America; or references drawn from the universal history of the arts.
