Title: Operación Ayar
Description: Throughout his life, Camino Sánchez elaborates folders with woodcut prints dedicated to the imagery of Ayacucho, to the Churches of Quinua, to the mate burilado of Junín, to the Bulls of Santiago de Pupuja, to the masks of different typical dances and to pre-Columbian art. These folders represent a rich contribution to the documentation of its natural environment and the manifestations of Peruvian folk art. For this exhibition the curators have selected works from different eras and styles, which allow us to know the versatility of this remarkable engraver. On the catalog we find an impressive non-figurative series of 1946, allegories of Pre-Hispanic art, documentation of popular art and northern costumbrismo and abstract works.
