This article examines the autobiography of white Uruguayan artist Carlos Páez Vilaró, read contrapuntally with the autobiographical accounts of several Afro-Uruguayans contained in the book Historias de Exclusión: Afrodescendientes en el Uruguay, including that of late painter Ruben Galloza (1926–2002). I argue that the fetishization of the black figure–evident in Páez Vilaró, but speaking of and through a larger context–constitutes whiteness and circumscribes the experiences of those who embody blackness
