"Contemporary Colombian painters become the best evidence authors Serrano and Wild use to prove wrong the notion that "painting is dead" (along drawing and graphic art) showing is still a strong and invigorated means of art expression, as shown in the traditional and new format paintings created by Ángel Alfaro, Juan Camilo Arango, Sandra Barrera, Joaquín Barrios, John Jader Bedoya, Mauricio Carmona, Leonardo Cubillos, Javier Cuellar, Audino Díaz, Dilsa Jiménez, Hindi Ilajtu, Juan Melo, Olivia Miranda, Santiago Montoya, Walbert Prez, Fernando Pertuz, Pablo Rincon, Jairo Rivera, Luis Fernando Robles, Álex Rodríguez, Mario Salazar, Giovanni Sánchez, Julián Urrego and Andrea Valencia"--Provided by vendor.

The name of the painter Enrique Grau is inseparable from the history of art in Colombia. Since his astonishing debut as a prodigy in the early 1940s, Grau has explored virtually every avenue of art: drawing, engraving, collage, silkscreen, woodcuts, painting, sculpture, theatrical costumes and sets, cinema, murals, frescos, and objects. In the course of his long career, Grau has achieved and consolidated a style that is personal and classical at the same time; he is unique in the panorama of Latin American art. This book pays homage to an artist as vital at the age of 83 as he was when the public first brought him acclaim over 60 years ago.

"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.
La producción creativa de María Fernanda Cuartas, actualmente una de las artistas relevantes de la región vallecaucana en el suroccidente de Colombia, ha tenido acogida y comentarios, ante todo, por parte de curadores y críticos en el exterior, donde encuentra una significativa recepción. Dentro de la enorme veta de posibilidades investigativas sobre creadores emergentes en el país, este es el primer libro en torno a esta artista que surge en su propio contexto, dirigido tanto a público especializado como general, el cual partió de la inquietud frente al despojo del rostro en sus obras, qué lo motiva, las problemáticas de la existencia individual y social que se filtran tras semejante trastocamiento anulativo de los rasgos faciales, que da la sensación de que avanzamos hacia una sintomática despersonalización en los últimos tiempos, y el vínculo con la pintura occidental, entre otras dimensiones abordadas en este estudio.
