TABARA AND VITERI: TWO ECUADORIANS AT THE TAMAYO MUSEUM

"With all this, Viteri achieves an unmistakably Latin American visual climate, or rather, an American Indian. Their multitudes are neither European, nor African, nor Asian; they have their own ancestry and their own history, with very old remnants and shreds of ecclesiastical ceremonies. The whole is offered as a march of the humanity of this continent, a multitudinous march always, sometimes painful, sometimes too silent or too anonymous. In the pictures made, only with paint and arpilleras, without the dolls, it seems that the march has already passed or is about to arrive. With this cycle, full of originality, Viteri stands as an outstanding talent of the new humanism in visual arts. "
