The Disappeared disappeared

edit

In the lead we link:

"The Disappeared" real people who were tortured and killed in his home country of Uruguay[2] during the dictatorships that ended in 1985.[3]

'Uruguay' does not appear in that general article/list, nor does Benedetti or Frasconi.

Later we say,

His major work[when?] took ten years to complete and it was a series of woodcuts that illustrate "The Disappeared". The work illustrates real people who were tortured and killed in his home country of Uruguay. ..."

What is it? Text by Benedetti?, published, and subsequently illustrated by Frasconi?

In Selected works we list:

The Disappeared, text by Mario Benedetti[clarification needed]

'Disappeared' does not appear in the linked biography. (Our list of Benedetti works includes only one English-language title, "Little Stones At My Window", poetry.)

As far as people who disappeared during the dictatorship in Uruguay, Operation Condor was active in Uruguay as well. Here I see 140 such cases: es:Anexo:Detenidos desaparecidos de Uruguay, so this problem is with the article Forced disappearance, which fails to mention them. The Spanish article es:Antonio Frasconi mentions that his xylography series "Los desaparecidos" was created between 1981 and 1986 (five years) but does not mention that this was his "major work". The reference given there also fails to mention its importance.

Mario Benedetti was an important Uruguayan writer and poet who was in exile during the dictatorship. As "Los desaparecidos" is a series of prints, it seems certain that they are not illustrations within a book of Benedetti. I have updated reference to the North Dakota Museum to point to The Dissapeared, but there is no mention of any text by Benedetti there. What I assume, is that the text was combined with his works during the exhibitions in Uruguay. The problem I see with the North Dakota Museum, is that it does NOT support this article. For that Museum, the name "The Disappeared" refers to an exhibition of 27 artists, among which Frasconi, and not to his series of prints. Here is an additional link that mentions this exhibition [1]. I think this reference should be limited only to what it can support. I added more external links, most in English, that may be helpful. I hope this helps.
