Abstract

Some unknown murals that survive in the very center of South America will serve to develop one of the least frequently asked questions by those who produce, use or study art: What are the relationships between social differences and aesthetic differences within a group? determined society? Drawing conclusions, based on Ambaná and other sites, I suggest that: a. Post-Inca Andean art is much more conditioned by these differences than the urban variants. (The city has a more pronounced homogenizing effect for this purpose). b. That same rural world does not always reach the explicit break or the imposition of a hegemonic pattern.
