The Papelipolas
Los Papelípolas or The Papelipolas was a group of artists from Huila Department, in the Republic of Colombia arising in the year 1958. Their productions in the fields of theater, the narrative, the drawing, the cinema, the television and especially in the poetry, have been widely recognized and disseminated, even several decades after its dissolution. It was disbanded in the mid-1960s, and the components continued writing independently. The group's name is papel and pola.
The components
The group's regular payroll poetic Los Papelípolas is limited to six authors: Gustavo Andrade. The others were apathetic to the events and to the movies, but with valuable works: Angel Sierra Basto, Dario Silva Silva ; Ruben Morales Buendía, Julian Polanía Perez and Luis Ernesto Luna. Delimiro Moreno in his work The Papelípolas, Poetic Essay on a Generation added to Armando Ceron Castillo and then talked about Camilo Lara Cuenca as an appendix of them, with a recently published poetic production, almost posthumously. The themes and style of these poets were always very heterogeneous group, as their spiritual and political ideology.Two of them, especially with shared affinities with the Beat Generation: Angel Sierra Basto and Luis Ernesto Luna.
The attribution of movement
The label of "movement", may be inaccurate. The ideals and artistic group shares similarities with the Beat Generation and The Hungry Generation. The papelípolas Angel Sierra Basto and Luis Ernesto Suárez alluded to Nirvana, the Upanishads, Buddhism, to free sexuality, alcohol and drugs as leaks. Other reasons given for giving the label of movement, was that none of its members turned professional as a response to the educational model of unbridled capitalism. For some, a result of their political ideology, for others, economic limitations, but it is common. All this feeds the decadence French Huysmans, French writers Charles Baudelaire, Gérard de Nerval, Arthur Rimbaud and Parnasianism of Paul Verlaine, also at Nicaraguan literary modernism Rubén Darío. Sierra Basto, the more Beat of all, tried to deconstruct the language with their Rhymes Rune, and other poems full of neologisms. Meanwhile, the founder of The Papelípolas, Gustavo Andrade was counter to provincial level, with his first Manifesto Papelípolas, letter to Ramiro Bahamón by the poet Silvia Lorenzo to national poets gathered in Medellín in 1958, and published this year in the first of three Notebooks Huila group: Concept of Grief with poems Julián Pérez Polanía, also with his essay Neiva needs a mayor who wants to Neiva and enjoying universal recognition plays like cutting.The artistic value of the Papelípolas, was the subject of several pages of authors like David Rivera Moya, Roger Echavarría, Oliver Lis, Delimiro Moreno, Félix Ramiro Losada and Jorge Guebely. However, the label "movement" has been accepted by custom, though its definition has been as diverse and controversial.
