Inspired by his frequent trips to the jungle \"in his capacity as an entomologist, professor at the National University, Richter ends up giving free rein to his artistic sensitivity, in drawings, watercolors, paintings and enamel mosaics on ceramic tiles. Without allowing himself to be pigeonholed into none of the artistic trends of his time, Richter offers his artistic tribute to the American race and the magical and unfathomable nature that surrounds him in a way that only he knew how to do. Leopoldo Richter's passage through Colombian art cannot be indifferent to No art lover. While exalting his work and paying him a long-overdue tribute, this book brings us without barriers to a very complete sample of the work of one of the most serious Colombian artists of the second half of the 20th century. .\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Villegas Asociados S.A","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31544390058042,"sku":"9789589393321","price":245000.0,"currency_code":"COP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0258\/8924\/3194\/products\/richter.jpg?v=1598895247"},{"product_id":"sophia-vari","title":"Sophia Vari","description":"\u003cp\u003eInnovative and unclassifiable are the terms that could define the work of the Greek artist Sophia Vari within the world of modern classical sculpture, where today it occupies a prominent place.

Inspired by the study trips of Humboldt—the German scientist and humanist—he undertook various journeys that took him to various places in the world. Among these, in 1853, he toured remote and exotic places in Colombia and Ecuador. This book provides innovative documentation of the trip and shows for the first time to the world most of the sketches and drawings made during that journey, which reside in the Cooper-Hewitt Museum in New York. Pablo Navas Sanz de Santamaría's extensive research for this study reveals ignored plastic and human facets of the painter.
