Pablo Montoya: lo religioso y el arte

Religion appears in Pablo Montoya’s work in two senses: as a part of the culture, which manifests itself through myths, rites and symbols; and as a phenomenon, which indicates human constructions of meaning. This article, which is part of a PhD dissertation, takes as a base the Theology of culture by the religion philosopher Paul Tillich to systematize both meanings of what is religious. In addition, it reads the texts from a perspective of the aesthetics of reception (Gadamer, Iser, Jauss), which focuses on the way of interpretation of artworks and social realities from new horizons of reading.
