dc.descriptionEl trabajo examina la productividad artística durante el ciclo de vida de tres fotógrafos latinoamericanos sobresalientes en el Siglo XX: Manuel Álvarez Bravo (México), Sergio Larraín (Chile), y Sebastião Salgado (Brazil). El análisis desarrolla recuentos empleando libros sobre la historia del arte y otras fuentes de análisis de expertos sobre la materia, siguiendo la metodología de contribuciones en la literatura económica [David W. Galenson, 2007, Old masters and young geniuses: The two life cycles of artistic creativity, Imprenta de la Universidad de Princeton]. La investigación identifica a Manuel Álvarez Bravo como ‘innovador conceptual’, característica que temprano en su carrera llamó la atención de los surrealistas franceses. En contraste, Sergio Larraín y Sebastião Salgado logran sus contribuciones a la fotografía operando como ‘innovadores experimentales’. La investigación también reúne y evalúa indicadores en base a colecciones de museos y retrospectivas selectas para medir la robustez de las conclusiones que surgen de las narrativas. Los resultados de la investigación pueden ser útiles desde los puntos de vista académico y de política pública: entender la productividad artística durante el ciclo de vida puede contribuir en discusiones sobre cómo asignar los fondos públicos para las industrias creativas.en-US
dc.descriptionThe paper examines the life-cycle artistic productivity of three leading Latin American photographers of the twentieth century: Manuel Álvarez Bravo (Mexico), Sergio Larraín (Chile), and Sebastião Salgado (Brazil). The analysis constructs narratives using art books and other sources of expert commentary, following the approach in earlier contributions to the economics literature on the subject [David W. Galenson, 2007, Old masters and young geniuses: The two life cycles of artistic creativity, Princeton University Press]. The research identifies Manuel Álvarez Bravo as a ‘conceptual innovator’, a feature that caught the French surrealists’ attention early in his career. In contrast, Sergio Larraín and Sebastião Salgado accomplish their contributions to photography like ‘experimental innovators’. The investigation assembles and evaluates metrics from museum holdings and selected retrospectives to gauge the robustness of the conclusions emerging from the benchmark narratives. The results can be useful from the academic and public policy viewpoints: a better understanding of life-cycle artistic productivity can inform deliberations on the allocation of public funding for creative industries.es-ES
