Title: El protocolo de lo africano en la obra de Ana Mercedes Hoyos
Description: "The author analyses the mestizaje worlds and symbols characteristic of the art of Colombian artist Ana Mercedes Hoyos reflecting not only on the aesthetic but on the anthropological value of her work, as seen in the colorful and expresive representations of the 'palenqueras', the female fruit vendors of San Basilio de Palenque, Colombia. The artist combined her anthropological research in Palenque with pictorial techniques of pop-art to create her unique interpretation of the complex ethnic and cultural patrimony of Colombia"--Provided by vendor.
