Abstract

ABSTRACT- Why political independence does not result in artistic independence in Colombia ? The question is answered by entering the meanders of the criolla republic and throwing light on the often concealed ways through which art and artists are submittted to the official regime. The categories of pure, testimonial, and compromised art are identified in the essay through a discussion of a essay by the Colombian poet Jorge Zalamea.
