Descripción de la Exposición

WESTWOOD GALLERY NYC presented an outstanding selection of 60 photographs by the most important Colombian photographer of the 20th century, Leo Matiz. He was born in 1917, in the seaside village of Aracataca, Colombia, also known as the mythical "Macondo" of Gabriel García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude." Leo Matiz documented more than 60 years of history in photographs. His work includes photographs of rural and urban landscapes, abstract forms found in architecture and nature, in addition to portraits of well-known individuals in the fields of art and politics and narrative photographs of native Latin Americans. Although Leo Matiz traveled his entire life covering four continents and experiencing the different cultures, people and events, he was never far from his passion for art, which included drawing, painting, writing and foremost photography. WESTWOOD GALLERY NYC was the first U.S. fine art gallery to exhibit the photographic history of Leo Matiz in 2001.
