Las Manos de la Protesta

(ES)

In La Edad de la Ira, Guayasamín denounces the violence of man against man in this century. His work reflects the pain and misery that the larger part of humanity has endured, and denounces the violence that every human being has had to live with in this monstrous 20th. century marked by world wars, civil wars, genocide, concentration camps, dictatorships, and tortures. One of the most important collections is the series of Las Manos, and within it, Las Manos de la Protesta is vital because it summarizes the attitude of human beings towards injustice from those who have everything - Manos Insaciables - and most of humanity who do not have anything - Manos del Mendigo -, after passing through Manos de la Oración, del Miedo, etc., the only thing left for the unjustly outcast society is the protest.
