ZAMORANO PEREZ, Pedro Emilio; CORTES LOPEZ, Claudio  y  GAZITUA COSTABAL, Francisco. Arte estatuario en Chile durante la primera mitad del siglo XX: Del monumento público a la escultura. Universum [online]. 2011, vol.26, n.1, pp. 205-223. ISSN 0718-2376.  doi: 10.4067/S0718-23762011000100012.

This work deals with the development of the art of statues in Chile starting from the relations between the national artists and the European schools, where most of them study. It provides information about the artistic and iconographic archetypes mostly used in our country in the sculpture at the end of XIX century and about the declination of the classical model produced during the first decades of XX century. It also provides information about the new sculptural concepts established in the country, deepening in the work of some local artists that lead this process of innovation aesthetic in our circles.

Palabras clave : Chilean sculpture; classical model; sculptural innovation; main artists.
