Abstract
Frequently hailed as the first exhibition of surrealist art in Latin America, the 1935 exhibition organized in Lima by the Peruvian poet and artist César Moro, with the help of the Chilean artist María Valencia, in fact featured work by a group of Chilean artists known as the “Decembristas.” The Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro wrote for the 1933 catalogue, which primarily promoted abstraction. Moro’s exhibition, the group’s third, was identified as surrealist through its provocative catalogue and by its presence in the “Surrealism around the World” spread in Minotaure. Both Huidobro and Moro spent time in Paris and are cited as introducing Surrealism to Latin America. Moro in part claimed these artists as surrealist as an affront to Huidobro, dedicating a page in the catalogue to denouncing him. In turn, Huidobro published a scathing rebuttal of Moro in his magazine Vital, pitting many of the Decembristas against Moro. This essay traces the Decembristas’ exhibition histories and their print corollaries—including two magazines started by the Decembristas themselves—to examine the tension between Surrealism and abstraction and how these discourses were mobilized by Moro and Huidobro toward their own ends.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
