GARAY, Andrés. Documentary Foto-óleo on Catacaos (Peru) in the Second Half of the 20th Century. The Work of Ecuadorian Manuel Quiroz. Palabra Clave [online]. 2023, vol.26, n.1, e2613.  Epub 27-Fev-2023. ISSN 0122-8285.  https://doi.org/10.5294/pacla.2023.26.1.3.

In a country where documentary photography tradition in the 20th century has been centralized in Cuzco, the foto-óleos produced between 1949 and 1950 by Ecuadorian Manuel Quiroz on Catacaos, a rural town on the northern coast of Peru, represent a novel case due to its formal and narrative characteristics and public reception during the second half of the 20th century. The article’s objective is to present this case using an identification methodology on the series of original foto-óleos dedicated to Catacaos and a context study based on the analysis of documents from Quiroz’s personal album about his public life in Peru. Due to the vast and heterogeneous recognition that the foto-óleo and the photographer had, we are facing an unprecedented instance in Peruvian and Latin American photography in which these images contributed to society acknowledging a regional history and identity in them.
