Antiquarian - Cuzco (Anticuario - Cuzco)

José Sabogal was a Peruvian painter and printmaker whose work centered on indigenous Andean subjects and folk traditions, presented through a modernist formal language. Active from the early twentieth century onward, he helped establish a distinctly Peruvian artistic identity that drew from pre-Columbian visual culture and contemporary indigenous life. His paintings and woodcuts combined expressionist color and simplified forms with ethnographic attention to costume, ritual, and landscape. Sabogal's influence on Peruvian modernism extended beyond the studio to his role as an educator and cultural advocate for Andean heritage.
