OLIVAR, Dagmary. The transit of Juan Acha. A tribute in the centenary of his birth. Índex [online]. 2016, n.2, pp.10-16. ISSN 2477-9199.

Latin American Art Theory and Criticism have in Juan Acha (1916-1995) one of the most prolific and influential intellectuals of the second half of the 20th century. His conceptual proposal, broad editorial production, as well as his professional action for Contemporary Art and the renewal of the artistic languages are some of the features that make his work a founding legacy for Latin American Art. In this article we present a brief panorama of some of the vital and professional moments of this intellectual. We propose an approach to his biography and intellectual production, which can be read as a transit through the life of this author and also of recent Latin American Art History. We do this in the context of the centenary of his birth: a way to pay tribute to him and bring his work to other generations of Latin American researchers
