Abstract
The 1960s was a crucial decade in the consolidation of the artistic discipline in Colombia, and this motivates to reconstruct the art history of the country. During these years, the study of the artistic production through the colonial “neogranadian” period was studied by authors who shaped and strengthened the category of “Colonial art”. This category, far from being homogeneous, was determined by each author according to their own theoretical horizons and their respective places of production, establishing two different ways of legitimacy: either by way of tradition, or by the rupture and the transgression path. The aim of this essay is to understand the historiographical production of places of experience, truth and observation during the moment in which the discipline of art history was consolidated in Colombia.The journal Memoria y Sociedad is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
