Summary:

"This is the third volume we dedicate to sculptor Rómulo Rozo (1899 - 1964), una exciting and monumental figure that contrasts with its poor representation in the stories of Colombian art and its little resonance in our local museums. In spite of everything, a decisive artist in Latin American modern art that begins to be reviewed by specialists from other latitudes as the trilogy that concludes with this book proves it. By presenting the title of this book as an open question we propose to put some ideas into discussion now that we have been able to evaluate the artistic legacy of the author of hypnotics Bachué: whether his contributions as a creator - contemporaries and as valuable as those of Mexican muralism - shaped an avant-garde of his own in local art, whether there was or was a glimpse, whether Latin America really reached the desired modernity in its own way, or even whether or not this is relevant. Five perspectives proposed by authors who have approached Rómulo Rozo from different chronological and geographical angles will give light to solve that question, and -as this editorial has proposed since its first publication-, bet on the "B-side" of history and those narratives lost in time."
