Abstract

La insistencia de los teóricos abstraccionistas, al pretender justificar con el concurso de una retórica basada en un principio idealista, los ubica necesaria e invariablemente en el concepto divisionista de la sociedad y más concretamente de parte del sector de la sociedad que ejerce el poder sobre las clases explotadas.

Author Biography

Alvaro Canales, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras

Álvaro Canales was born in the city of San Pedro Sula on October 5, 1919. Around 1944 emigrates from the country, settling briefly in El Salvador and Guatemala to later reside in Mexico until his death on October 19 of 1983. In Mexico City he makes a good part of his prolific artistic production, regularly traveling to Honduras to exhibit (1960 and 1970), as well as to carry out works murals (1959 and 1978) that highlighted him at a country for its size, its technique and the theme addressed, very different from any work mural that preceded his creations. At the country level, the National Autonomous University of Honduras treasures the largest public collection of his plastic work with nine portraits of National heroes and their masterpiece Liberation, a mural found in the Juan Lindo auditorium of the University City Jose Trinidad Reyes in Tegucigalpa.
