tragedia jíbara
Spanish to English

Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
From a text from the 1940s about Puerto Rican art:
arte fatalista de retablo y estampa milagrera, de bestia cansina, de mendigo resignado, de bohío destruido, de tradicional estampa de tragedia jíbara….: arte manso - manso en la concepción: poema dolorido, paisaje bucólico, danza retozona y acariciante; manso en la ejecución: sin una línea diagonal, estático y isométrico en composición; lenguaje alambicado y estilo pastoral, compas de música de tres por cuatro. Señorial y lento... Arte manso, bonito, que entretiene, que a veces horroriza, pero que jamás incita a la lucha…
Thanks

the tragedy of the Jíbaro
'jibara' refers to a traditional Puerto Rican character: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jíbaro
I think the term is used in English, but you might want to use a footnote to provide more information if it hasn't come up before in the text.

a typically tragic Jibaro scene
de tradicional estampa de tragedia jíbara
"estampa", used elsewhere in the sentence, refers to a small card with a religious scene in a Catholic context, often used as an aid to prayer (normally representing a saint or a martir)-- by extension, it refers to a simple scene in an illustration (and sometimes, by extension, to a simple scene).
I have only come across Jibaro as a tribe name, and it would seem to fit here/
to be found on a typical representation of Jibaro tragedy.
