| Abstract |
The sculptural concept of Francisco Zúfuga (1912-1998) is discussed from the palpation including a postcolonial viewpoint Francisco Zuniga was a sculptor who was born in the Republic of Costa Rica, Ce...ntral America, active in Mexico after the revolution and the colonization and became blind by the cancer of nose in 1990. In order to study his strong presence and reality in sculpture represented by full figured abdominous women, shapes of his sculptures were compared between those made before and after becoming blind and also ones by another blind person by use of a numerical evaluation. The evaluated results showed that characteristic features of his sculptures made in sighted still persisted in those made after his loss of sight These characteristics are intentional representation by Zuniga. It is confirmed from the discussion that Zuniga had been pursuing a reality even after becoming blind, and had found out the reality in sculptures made by palpation. The results of discussion over art and numerical analysis deduced that Zuniga expressed the strong presence of the indigenous peoples to deny Mexican metaphysical nationalism, this expression has been embodied in sculpture by palpable after he had blindness.show more
