Eladio Vélez

"The editorial fund of Medellín's Univ. EAFIT has made possible the publication of the sketches of Eladio Vélez contained in 10 'libretas' or booklets, executed by the artist during his four-year European journey. Booklets Nos. 5, 6, and 7 are the least satisfactory, but the others demonstrate the artist's capacity for capturing in drawing the essence and visual structure of the subjects. No. 10 is exemplary. Artist Jorge Cárdenas, Vélez's student and current owner of the booklets, gives an account of his teacher's experiences in Europe. The book is illustrated and contains a short biographical chronology and bibliography"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
