- Summary
- González's earliest canvases take European masterworks as a critical point of departure. In 1967, she rejected oil paint altogether, preferring industrial enamel applied to sheets of metal and later, furniture and housewares. In the sixties González turned her focus from art to the historical imagery published by Gráficas Molinari & Cía, a Spanish-owned company that distributed cheap, popular prints and that have served as basic material for various Colombian artists in Colombia and several other Latin American countries. The artist co-opted these widely-circulated pictures of religious and mythological themes (often somewhat distorted), mothers, children, portraits, celebrities, still lifes and landscapes. Artist and researcher José Ruiz (Colombia 1994), allows to compare the original images printed from 1952 to the eighties by Gráficas Molinari & Cía with the use Beatriz González gave these provincial imaginary prints and integrated them into her furniture series 'Naturaleza casi muerta' (Amost still lfe). In addition to two texts, it contains photographic illustrations of popular graphics by the Molinari printing house from the collection of Beatriz González, as well as illustrations of furniture and works by the artist. The publication is printed on plates in the 1960's. "This is the first book of a series that will explore the relationship of several artists with Gráficas Molinari, graphic art printing in Cali.".
