description The article analyzes some city paintings about Paris and Bogota done by local artists around the turn of the century, in the late 1800s and early 1900s, taking into account two kinds of urban pictorial representations: i) urban scenes paintings, in which the city is the place for life and so human figures are relevant to the composition; and ii) urban landscape paintings, in which the main character is the city itself and, therefore, portrays of its inhabitants are quite uncommon. From this double point of view, the author examines images of Paris, including, the first dagurreotype as well as works by famous impressionists like Pissarro, Renoir, Van Gogh and Monet; and so it does with the images of Bogota done by two members of the Escuela de la Sabana (Savannah School): Luis Núñez Borda and Fídolo Alfonso González Camargo. Among others, the article concludes that painting is a useful artistic technology for understanding the complexities of the urban experience.

El artículo analiza algunas de las pinturas de París y Bogotá, realizadas por los pintores de esas ciudades en un período histórico que gira en torno al cambio de siglo, entre el XIX y el XX. Se plantean dos tipos de representación pictórica urbana: i) pintar escenas de ciudad, en donde la ciudad es escenario para la vida, y por tanto, son relevantes las figuras humanas plasmadas en la tela; y, ii) pintar la ciudad, en donde la protagonista de los lienzos es la ciudad misma y, en consecuencia, se trata de obras que se destacan por no contener representaciones de sus habitantes. Bajo este enfoque doble, el autor analiza imágenes de París que incluyen el primer daguerrotipo, además de obras de los impresionistas, especialmente Pissarro, Renoir, Van Gogh y Monet, entre otros; y hace lo mismo con las imágenes que representan a Bogotá, realizadas por dos miembros de la Escuela de la Sabana: Luis Núñez Borda y Fídolo Alfonso González Camargo. Se concluye, entre otras cosas, que la pintura es un instrumento artístico para comprender la complejidad de la vida urbana. 2021-11-10T01:00:01Z 2021-11-10T01:00:01Z 2012-05-14 Artículo revisado por pares info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1 info:eu-repo/semantics/article http://purl.org/coar/version/c_970fb48d4fbd8a85 http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/68 http://repositorio.uan.edu.co/handle/123456789/5550 spa http://revistas.uan.edu.co/index.php/nodo/article/view/68/626 Acceso abierto Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/ info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess http://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2 application/pdf Universidad Antonio Nariño 2346-092X 1909-3888 REVISTA NODO; Vol. 6 Núm. 12 (2012); 33 - 44
