About the exhibition
Every pilgrimage that involves an authentic experience also presupposes an inner journey, one that entails an integral lived experience. In the case of Hernando Tejada (Pereira, 1924 — Cali, 1998), his travels through Colombia were the foundations for reaffirming his vocation as an artist and his being: in the vegetal richness of the swampy and tropical zones of the Pacific, as well as in the natural and cultural diversity of the Caribbean coastal communities, he found landscapes and everyday scenes that nourished much of his work.
The Museum celebrates with this exhibition, which also functions as a journey back to mid-twentieth-century Colombia and its ways of approaching the territory, 100 years since the birth of Hernando Tejada, who through the exercise of his patient contemplation and profound sensitivity captured part of the diversity and richness of the country.
