About This Item

Bogotá: Universidad Nacional de Colombia Facultad de Artes, 2007. b/w plates, illus., cat., bibls., fldg. wrps. The book cover wraps around the text and folds over it to close into a book that is 17 cm. Results from a three year (2004-2007) study on Colombia's Indian design that utilize serpent imagery. The author noted that the serpent is a recurring motif and that the way this animal is represented is closely related to each complex ideology and cosmographic universe of each culture and difficult to understand. Thus the author will only intention on this number is to show the graphic interpretations of the serpent in the different ethnic cultures of Colombia, an icon that reflects the anatomical characteristics of the ophidian. La presente edición es parte de la investigación sobre el diseño indígena colombiano, que se desarrolla con el propósito fundamental de dar a conocer su inmensa riqueza gráfica. En la etapa de recopilación de información se notó que un motivo recurrente es el de la serpiente y que las maneras de representarla están fuertemente ligadas al pensamiento de cada cultura. Dado que la relación de la gráfica con el pensamiento complejo indígena es parte de un sistema al cual no podemos acceder fácilmente debido a nuestras diferencias culturales y que además cada grupo tiene sus propios códigos cosmográficos, sería aventurado e irrespetuoso reducir a unas pocas palabras el universo simbólico indígena; por ello, en esta obra, la intención es mostrar la gráfica de la serpiente en cuanto representación, la cual está reflejada en la síntesis de los rasgos esenciales de la anatomía del ofidio.
