Abstract: Anthological and homage exhibition of the photographic production of more than 5 decades of Hernán Díaz (b.. Tolima, Colombia 1929). Rafael Moure, his partner for more than 50 years selected 150 emblematic photographs; research was done under the coordination of María Elvira Ardila, curator of the museum. Díaz was the favored portrait photographer of numerous Colombia's presidents: Carlos Lleras Restrepo, Misael Pastrana Borrero, Alfonso López Michelsen, Julio César Turbay Ayala, Belisario Betancur, Virgilo Barco, and Cesar Gaviria. He also did portraits of noted personages of the cultural, political, artistic and social circles of Colombia between the 1960's and 1990's including: politician Antanas Mockus, architect Rogelio Salmona, art critic Marta Traba, Monsignor Miguel Huertas, the director of the Museo de Arte Moderno Gloria Zea, booksellers Buchholz, artist Fernando Botero, author Gabriel Garcia Marquez amongst other emblematic figures. Researcher María Elvira Ardila comments: "Diaz constructed discourses of power, beauty and territory, some of these photos have become historic and collective memory documents as they were shoot before the death of some of these personages who fought for their ideals, against drug trafficking and for their laughter: Carlos Pizarro, Luis Carlos Galán or Jaime Garzón"-- P. 9.
