She should have been to Colombia what Frida Kahlo was to Mexico. Emma Reyes rose to the top of the art world, then died in anonymity in 2003. Why does her art remain invisible despite the worldwide publication of a posthumous memoir, now a literary classic?
At a time when women are taking control of their own destinies, the artist’s grandniece sets out in search of answers and discovers the astonishingly flamboyant career of a 20th-century Latin American artist, once applauded and supported by masters such as Picasso, Diego Rivera and Enrico Prampolini. Before she lost everything.
