Summary:

This book makes a historical review of the development and material production of craftsmanship work in copper produced in the years indicated.To this end, the author interviewed more than twenty people, including researchers, craftsmen and relatives of artisans who were protagonists or witnesses of the development of drawings and forms in copper.But not only that, it also puts on the table some notions about what urban craftsmanship would be, a concept that is not fully accepted in academic discussion. This is how he dialogues with the positions of other theorists on the subject, trying to clarify some ideas and clearing up confusions in the nomenclature and definition of such activity. However, it revises the very concept of craftsmanship, since in some cases there is talk of folk art as opposed to a supposed cult art; or we talk about folk crafts, primitive art, applied arts or traditional craftsmanship, etc., which shows that in Chile the discussion is not over, and more, it is somewhat behind Mexico, Peru or Brazil, countries that have adopted more precise categories. The research is based on abundant graphic material ceded by artisans or their families. It is, in short, a tour of the theory and practice of a Chilean cultural manifestation that had different connotations depending on the time it developed.
