(b. Lima, Peru, 1909; d. Lima, Peru, 1960).
Enrique Camino Brent was part of the first generation of artists affiliated with the ENBA, as he studied there under the Peruvian painter José Sabogal (1888-1956).The Escuela Nacional de Bellas Artes (ENBA) was founded in Lima in 1919, the result of many attempts to institutionalize the postcolonial artistic currents that had been developing in Peru. Sabogal and his followers (including Enrique Camino Brent) earned the title of Indigenists, and their artistic nationalism was often in agreement with the Indigenism promoted by the regime of Peruvian President Augusto B. Leguía (1919-30). Brent completed his studies in 1932 and began teaching at the Escuela Nacional. He began to exhibit outside Peru in the 1930s, and established the Galería de Lima in 1941. Sources:
