Fusilamiento de un comunero
(Exécution d'un comunero)
1957 / 1961
The Peruvian sculptor Roca-Rey endeavoured to combine a modernist approach with the techniques and themes of pre-Columbian art. Fusilamiento de un comunero – his only political work – pays tribute to the villagers executed for objecting to a land reform ordered by President Prado. The sculpture captures the instant of the bullets’ impact. The direct violence expressed by the torn-apart body contrasts with the smooth roundness of the polished wood.
