Martin Chambi’s modernist
takes on Pan-Andean myth

By John Goodman
Contributing Writer
jobng@nsnews.com

IN 1920 Peruvian pho-
tographer Martin
Chambi set up his own
studio in Cuzco. At the
beginning of this centu-
ry the former Incan
capital was still one of
the country’s leading
cultural centres and
provided Chambi with
a base for his business
and artistic aspirations.
The son of an Indian peas-

ant, he documented the difter-
ent strata of Peruvian society.

“As with most studio photeg-
raphers, Chambi sought to
portray the town’s public fig-
ures, the powers that be. But
he did not limit himself to this
type of subject. Due in part to
his origins, he manifested a
special interest in the disad-
vantaged. He photographed a
peasant posed before a back-
drop exactly as he would a
bourgeois from the city ...
Irrepressible, he ventured into
the most inaccessible parts of
mountainous Peru, his heavy
cumbersome material loaded
on mules.” (Gabriel Bauret,
1991).

During the ‘20s and °30s
Chambi displayed his works in
the Peruvian cities of
Arequipa, Cuzco and Lima, as
well as La Paz, Bolivia and

importance of extubition space
he established his own gallery
in 1938. Both the American
Institute of Art in Lima and
the Plastic Arts Academy in
Cuzco owe their existence to
him

Many retrospectives have
highlighted Chambi’s work
since his death in 1973. One
of the most significant travel-
ing exhibitions was set up in
1990 by the Circulo de Bellas
Artes of Madrid under the
direction of Alejandro
