The following text is a critical interpretation upon a particular work of art and the way in which it proposes a connection between two Chilean painters situated in different times. This paper proposes Pablo Bucrhard's irruption, his way of painting, his idea on painting, and of one of his works in particular upon a montage by José Balmes. The present essay deals with the sense in which a work from the past is able to become current, and how a present day work can be trespassed by the past, producing a kind of virtual anachronism.
