This column by Andrés Iduarte (1907 – 1984: pictured above) addressed the popularity of Los Indios in the arts of Latin America throughout the 1930s. What came to be known as “the pro-Indian movement” in the U.S. of the 1960s was a political development in the counter-culture of that era, but thirty years earlier it was a trend in the arts of Latin America. Andrés Iduarte covered the contributions of painters, poets, novelists and sculptors who were all of Native descent south of the Rio Grande (FYI: Brazil is not mentioned in this article).
