The article based on the available data deals with what could be named as the Indians’ contribution on the works of arts’ production and festivals’ settings in Spanish South America. The author tries to demonstrate that the Indian influence on the so called Jesuit art was very important not only in the reductions of Paraguay but in other Jesuit provinces too. That is why we can speak about local styles of arts formed in different groups of Jesuit South American reductions.
