Dr. Carla Guillermina García, Assistant Professor at Universidad de Buenos Aires and Universidad Nacional de San Martín, has received a Marilynn Thoma Postdoctoral Fellowship to support the development of her project La historia de la pintura altoperuana a partir de la posrevolución boliviana: imágenes, conceptos y representaciones culturales into a manuscript for publication. García’s work examines the idea of “mestizo art” and how it was framed within the revaluation of colonial art in Bolivia after the National Revolution of 1952. Garcia’s investigation analyzes the work of art historians Teresa Gisbert and José de Mesa and looks at the historiographic formation of viceregal Bolivian art history through a nationalist lens.
