Abstract

The following investigation had the objective to depict the composition and structure of José María Eguren’s (1874-1942) art gallery. By means of the abductive method, it has located the data of the least observed and explained artistic space by the literary criticism. It is hypothesized that the art verbal support shows the symbolist trait in an internal way; whereas, in the external side, it reveals Eguren’s artistic-cultural identity. As a result, the examination
of Eguren’s artistic-poetic texture detected the names of four painters: Watteau, Van Dyck, Goya and Doré; in Motivos, his prose work, 36 painters: fourteen
from the XV-XVII century and twenty-two from the XIX and first half of the XX century. Among them, standing out by the times they were mentioned, we have Rafael, Leonardo, Botticelli, Velázquez, Goya, Moreau, and Chagall. Among the few paintings titles the poet mentions: El pelele, Santa Cecilia, La
Gioconda, Leda, Las gracias, La encajera, Venecia, Salomé and Los caballos de Chagall. Eguren’s art gallery, exclusively European, does not include Peruvian
or Latin American work nor painters.
