Abstract
The exhibition of the nudes La Amiga (the Girlfriend)
and La Cantarina de la Rosa (the Rose Singer) and
the prize awarded to their creator, the painter Debora
Arango at the Exhibition of Professional Artists
(Medellin, November 1939), was received with strong
criticism and moral condemnation by conservative
social sectors, as is noted in the following
newspapers: El Heraldo de Antioquia, El Diario, El
Colombiano, El Pueblo and La Defensa. The
conclusions clearly show that such reactions of
repudiation did not only focus on the aesthetic form,
but that also includes, in an overwhelming fashion,
religious, moral and cultural beliefs as well as
competition among painters. The discussion,
generated by critics, journalists, painters, authorities
and collaborators, translate the beliefs, values,
stereotypes and feelings of society regarding the
female naked body.
