Ana María Reyes is Assistant Professor of the History of Latin American Art and Architecture at Boston University, coeditor of Simón Bolívar: Travels and Transformations of a Cultural Icon, and founding member of the Symbolic Reparations Research Project.
Ana Maria Reyes tackles an important but understudied subject that is absolutely essential to understanding contemporary Colombian politics, culture, and society: the relationship between aesthetics and the Cold War in Colombia. Her analysis of Beatriz Gonzalez's artistic practices, Marta Traba's art criticism, the institutions where they worked and exhibited, and Colombia's cultural politics and Cold War policies during the National Front period is brilliant and compelling. --Mary Roldan, author of Blood and Fire: La Violencia in Antioquia, Colombia, 1946-1953 In this exciting and enlightening book, Ana Maria Reyes provides an entirely new perspective on the art of Beatriz Gonzalez, on Latin American engagements with pop, and on Marta Traba's assessment of Gonzalez's work. By offering a clear sense of the cultural dynamics of the Cold War in Colombia and class politics within Bogota during this period, Reyes allows readers to better appreciate Gonzalez's subject matter, style, color sensibility, and use of appropriation. --Mary Coffey, author of Orozco's American Epic: Myth, History, and the Melancholy of Race
