Curatorial Narrative The rustic figurative tradition of early 19th-century Latin American art is exemplified in Francisco Fierro’s “Indian Man Dragging Dead Dog”, created circa 1850. The artist’s fine brushwork imbues the composition with a sense of narrative depth, as if the painting itself were a worn leather journal recounting the trials of rural life.

The beige and brown tones assume a tactile quality, as if the very walls of the surrounding space had been infused with a war
