Hi! I am a native Spanish speaker, fluent also in Portuguese, English and Hebrew. I specialize in Latin American/Pacific Rim colonial literature and history, and am VERY conversant with Jesuit/Guarani art and the philosophy of the Missions. Please feel free to be in touch with me.

If you have not done so yet, I suggest getting in touch with Dr. Ramón Gutiérrez via CEDODAL. In addition to having edited a book on the Jesuit missions of South America, he can get you in touch with more specialized authors.

Hello Julia, What are you looking for in particular? I am art historian and worked about books and libraries  in Colonial Peru, crossing inevitable Jesuit art in the viceroyalty of Peru. If you provide me with more details, I might be able to hint you in the one or other direction. Please feel free to contact me in German.

I have just published an article on Brazilian colonial art: "Tropical Iconography: Native Themes in Brazilian Colonial Art". You can have a look at:

Pedro's answer appears to contain the insinuation that I-since I responded first-am not "specialized."

 What a pity this passive-aggressive type of commentary stillexists. It belongs to a much older generation. Long live the new!!!

Dear Sharonah, I see what you mean and I'm sorry I did not make myself clear. I meant Dr. Gutiérrez is a specialist in architecture, and he probably knows people who are more knowledgeable about sculpture than *he* is. I was not talking about you at all.

Obrigada pela aclaracao, y tambem me desculpe voce; reagi rapidamente demais. Agora compreendo que noa foi insulto o que voce escreveu, e oferesco as minhas disculpas.

Gratidao,

Sharonah

Hello, Julia.

I sugest you to adress my friend Carla Alferes Pinto ([email protected])

from CHAM (http://www.cham.fcsh.unl.pt/default.aspx).

I'm sure she will be able to lead you to someone specialized in colonial south american art from Universidade Nova de Lisboa.

Best wishes, JPM

I have published some articles about Argentina, including St. John Nepomuk iconography in sculpture and painting; and the architecte Juan Kraus:
