Catalogue accompanying Beatriz González’s first large-scale, U.S.-based retrospective at the Pérez Art Museum Miami (April 19 - Sep. 1, 2019). and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston (Oct. 27, 2019 - Jan. 20, 2020). The Colombia-born González (1938) is not only an internationally celebrated artist, but also a representative of the radical women generation from Latin America. Her radical work (she’s described herself as a “transgressor”), draws from her own investigation of Colombia’s sociopolitical climate, the global emphasis on European artwork, meditations on the media. It has never been simply Pop Art, the movement with which she’s most frequently associated; González once called her flat-figured, brightly-colored works, “underdeveloped paintings for underdeveloped countries”. The catalogue includes essays that explore Gonzalez's early, late and current work, her use of photography and archival images and contextualizes her practice within Colombian history and by describing major events that have influenced her work.
