Gonzalo Ariza. The great landscape painter

Gonzalo Ariza, the great landscape artist, invites us to rediscover one of the most unique Colombian painters of the 20th century. His work, misunderstood due to certain judgments of his time, appears today with renewed strength: that of someone who did not copy the landscape from the easel, but rather internalized it with patience, memory, and love. Ariza knew like few others the light, the fog, the water, and the native vegetation of Colombia; that is why his oils and watercolors seem to breathe from within. This book brings together a rigorous selection of paintings, made with the artist, and accompanies it with memorable texts by important contemporaries of his. In its pages, the fullness of a master whose vision finally achieves the universal recognition it deserves is revealed.
