Abstract

The search for reconnection with the elusive pre-Columbian past has been raised from the Colombian art in different periods. Not always in the same way, nor with the same tools, nor has it reached the same formalizations. These searches have started from different ports, historical contexts, political and ideological debates and from multiple aesthetic and personal searches such as indigenism (in the decades of the 30s and 40s), the problems of Latin American identity in the 60s and 70s and the decolonial and gender questions from the 90s, among other perspectives. As an approximation to the theme, this text will analyze four proposals (Edgar Negret, Nadín Ospina, Juan David Henao and the Collective El Cuerpo Habla), which have explored each in their own way the pre-Columbian universe from the post-threshold of the century XX.
