Introduction to Colombia
Colombia is a country located in South America, bordered by Venezuela, Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, and Panama. It has a diverse landscape that includes the Andes mountains, the Amazon rainforest, and the Caribbean coast. The country's official language is Spanish, and its population is diverse, with indigenous peoples, Afro-Colombians, and people of European descent making up significant portions. Despite its natural beauty and rich heritage, Colombia has faced challenges in the past, including a long-standing armed conflict involving illegal armed groups, drug trafficking, and corruption. However, in recent years, Colombia has made significant progress in improving security and economic stability. The country has also become a tourism hotspot, with millions of visitors each year drawn to its unique culture, outstanding music scene, and stunning landscapes. Today, Colombia is regarded as one of the most exciting and promising destinations in Latin America.
Colombian Art
""The amount sounds marvellous: 3500 years of Colombian art! Do we really have so much art to review? So much to show? This new book by Villegas Editores indicates so." "Through a chronological synthesis, for the first time in a single volume, the artistic production is grouped together to what today is Colombian territory. The book presents the early manifestations of pre-Columbian art until and throughout the Twentieth Century." "This recount, supported by the collections from the Gold Museum and the Art Collection, both part of the Central Bank of Colombia, and complemented by other important public collections, focuses on the periods starting from the Conquest, on painting and sculpture. It is the author's opinion - Santiago Londono Velez - that the rest of the material in the book deserves a separate treatment."--Rabat de la jaquette

Ana Mercedes Hoyos
"It deals witb a distinguished career which led the Colombian artist from her early stage of "windows" and "doors" to a series of "atmospheres"--In which she seems to leap through the frames of her earlier paintings to find herself before the light that is on the other side and was merely hinted at before. The white canvases of her "atmospheres" - luminous, sparkling and full of matter - in turn fulfill their cycle, opening the way for a further stage which is marked by the recuperatian of the object and a new and fresh approach to nature.
Negret, Sculptor - Homage
The work of Colombian sculptor Edgar Negret is lovingly portrayed in this homage to the man and six decades of his art. The incorporation of aluminum, industrial paint, and visible assembling techniques in his 1950s works in Mallorca and New York is discussed along with details of his journey across America, return to Colombia, and artistic approximation of Latin American literature. As the panorama of his life and art unfolds, the increasing incorporation of pre-Colombian mythology in his sculpture is analyzed, concluding with a portrayal of the beautiful birds, butterflies, flowers, and toys he created at the final years of his life.
