Hernando Tejada Sáenz fue un artista nacido en Pereira el 1 de febrero 1924, ampliamente reconocido por su variado trabajo que inició con el dibujo y la pintura, y transitó por la escultura en madera y bronce hacia las últimas décadas de su producción. Fue conocido como “''Tejadita''” por su baja estatura. Era hermano de la artista [[Lucy Tejada]], con quien expuso en varias ocasiones. Contó con el aval de la crítica de arte de mediados de siglo XX y su obra es tan singular que es difícil de encuadrar en las tendencias del arte moderno colombiano e, incluso, se relaciona con una vanguardia literaria: el realismo mágico. Falleció en Cali el 1 de junio de 1998.   
'''Hernando Tejada Sáenz''' was an artist who was born in Pereira on February 1, 1924 and widely recognized for his varied body of work, which began with drawing and painting and transitioned towards wood and bronze sculpture in the final decades of his career. He was known as “Tejadita” due to his short stature. He was the brother of the artist  [[Lucy Tejada]], with whom he exhibited on several occasions. He received the support of art critics in the mid-20th century, and his work is so unique that it is hard to place within the trends of Colombian modern art; it is even linked to a literary avant-garde: Magical Realism. He died in Cali on June 1, 1998.

==Biography==


Aunque pasó sus primeros años en Pereira y Manizales, el artista vivió desde la niñez en Cali y trabajó y dio a conocer su obra principalmente en esta ciudad, siendo el Museo La Tertulia un espacio fundamental para el encuentro con su público. Estudió en el Instituto de Bellas Artes de Cali y completó su formación en la escuela de Bellas Artes en Bogotá. A la manera de artistas que en la primera mitad del siglo XX viajaron a mundos tribales y primitivos para realizar un viaje interior y renovar las tradiciones artísticas, Tejada tuvo una estancia en las islas de San Andrés y Providencia, y luego en el río Magdalena y el litoral Pacífico, en compañía del artista con Alipio Jaramillo. Estos viajes se reflejan principalmente en la primera etapa de su obra y en la serie de manglares que desarrolla hacia el final de su vida.
Although he spent his early years in Pereira and Manizales, Tejada lived in Cali from infancy and primarily worked and presented his art in the city, with the La Tertulia museum being a vital space for meeting his public. He studied at the Fine Arts Institute in Cali and completed his training at the School of Fine Arts in Bogotá. In the vein of the artists who traveled to tribal, primitive worlds in the first half of the 20th century in order to undergo an internal journey and renew the artistic traditions, Tejada spent a period on the islands of San Andrés and Providencia, and later along the Magdalena river and the Pacific coast, in the company of the artist Alipio Jaramillo. These journeys are mainly evinced in the first phase of his career and the mangrove series that he produced towards the end of his life.


Hernando Tejada tuvo un gran protagonismo a lo largo de su carrera. En la década de los cuarenta encontró un lugar en la corriente modernista que se reunía principalmente en Bogotá, haciendo parte de la Generación de los 26, llamada así por el número de artistas que participaron en 1948 en la Exposición de Pintura Contemporánea en el Museo Nacional. En los años cincuenta fue comisionado para la realización de varios murales en espacios públicos de Cali, Palmira y Bogotá, con temas alusivos a la historia de Cali, de la nación y del transporte, y otros más libres como el realizado para la facultad de Bellas Artes de la Ciudad Universitaria en la capital del país. Participó en varias versiones del Salón Nacional de Artistas colombianos y en bienales como las de Coltejer en Medellín y otras en Sao Paulo y Venecia.  
Hernando Tejada had great prominence over the course of his career. In the 1940s he found a place in the modernist current that principally converged in Bogotá, and he formed part of the Generación de los 26, so-called for the number of artists who participated in the Contemporary Painting Exhibition at the National Museum in 1948. In the 1950s he was commissioned to create various murals in public spaces in Cali, Palmira and Bogotá with themes alluding to transport and the history of Cali and Colombia, along with others with more thematic freedom such as the one he produced for the Fine Arts faculty of the National University in the capital Bogotá. He took part in several editions of the National Colombian Artists Show, and in biennials such as those held by Coltejer in Medellín and others in Sao Paulo and Venice.  


===Trayectoria artística===
===Artistic career===


A mediados de los años cuarenta, Tejada llegó a Bogotá y se encuentró con una activa generación de artistas, entre quienes se cuentan Alejandro Obregón, Enrique Grau, Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar, Edgar Negret, Julio Abril y, muy importante para su incursión en el muralismo, Ignacio Gómez Jaramillo. Hacia los años cincuenta su reputación era tal que goza de un buen concepto para los principales críticos de arte del momento, como el polaco Casimiro Eiger y la argentina Marta Traba.
In the mid-1940s, Tejada arrived in Bogotá and encountered an active generation of artists that included Alejandro Obregón, Enrique Grau, Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar, Edgar Negret, Julio Abril and — of great significance for his foray into muralism — Ignacio Gómez Jaramillo. Around the 1950s, such was his reputation that he enjoyed high regard from the leading art critics of the time, including the Pole Casimiro Eiger and the Argentinian Marta Traba.
En los años sesenta realizó varias exposiciones individuales y participó en algunas colectivas, destacando su labor como pintor. Las mujeres son el tema central de su trabajo, como se percibe en varias series de la época. Este interés continuó en los años setenta en el campo de la escultura, cuando inició su trabajo con madera. De este periodo sobresalen las mujeres objeto-mueble tituladas con nombres femeninos y dedicadas a objetos y funcionalidades particulares. Estas tallas se destacan en distintos eventos: en la II Bienal de Coltejer en Medellín (1970) expone Sacramento, en la III Bienal (1972) presenta a Abigail y en la Bienal de Venecia (1982) muestra a Estefanía y Teresa.
In the 1960s he held various individual exhibitions and took part in some group shows, highlighting his work as a painter. Women are the central theme of his work, as shown by various series from the period. This interest persisted in the 1970s in the field of sculpture, when he began his work with wood. From this phase his “object-furniture” women stand out, which were titled with female names and dedicated to particular objects and functions. These carvings were prominent at a variety of events: the 2nd Coltejer Biennial in Medellín (1970) where he presented Sacramento, the 3rd Coltejer Biennial (1972) with Abigail, and the Venice Biennale (1982) where he exhibited Estefanía and Teresa.
En las décadas del ochenta y el noventa, Tejada profundizó en intereses naturalistas desarrollando un conjunto de tallas sobre manglares, fauna y flora colombiana y bodegones. Participó también en este periodo en la fabricación de títeres y escenografías para ópera. En 1996, selló su trayectoria artística con su donación a Cali de “''El gato del río''”, una escultura en bronce de grandes dimensiones que hoy hace parte de la identidad cultural de esta ciudad y es uno de sus grandes atractivos turísticos.
During the 1980s and 1990s, Tejada further explored his naturalist interests by producing a series of carvings on the subject of mangroves, Colombian flora and fauna and still lifes. During this period, he was also involved in the production of puppets and stage design for opera. In 1996 he sealed his artistic career with his donation of El Gato del Río (The Cat of the River) to the city of Cali, a large-scale bronze sculpture that today forms part of the cultural identity of the city and is one of its major tourist attractions.


===Características de su obra===
===Characteristics of her work===


Desde los inicios de la producción de Hernando Tejada, la crítica observó en el artista una resistencia a complacer el gusto del público y una actitud constante a la renovación y la exploración de sus propios intereses. Mientras en las primeras décadas de su trabajo manifestó un interés en los pueblos de la Colombia afro descendiente y se prestó al fervor nacionalista con sus murales, entre 1960 y 1980 dedicó sus esfuerzos a la imagen femenina. En las distintas tallas sobre este tema, los analistas de su obra resaltan una modalidad de representación barroca por la marcada ornamentación de las piezas, la inclusión del humor, la ironía y el juego, así como una intención de convocar la interacción del público con sus obras. Para algunos, esta orientación fue pionera en la historia del arte colombiano.
From the early output of Hernando Tejada, the critics saw in him a resistance to satisfying the tastes of the public, as well as a constant stance towards the renewal and exploration of his own interests. While during the first decades of his career he showed an interest in the Afro-descendant peoples of Colombia and lent himself to nationalist fervor with his murals, between 1960 and 1980 he devoted his efforts to the female image. In his various sculptures on this theme, analysts of his work point to a Baroque method of representation due to the marked ornamentation of the pieces; the inclusion of humor, irony and play; and an intention to call for interaction from the public with his works. Some consider this focus to be pioneering in the history of Colombian art.
Aunque por las características antes mencionadas, su obra se ha catalogado dentro del arte pop, lecturas contemporáneas de su trayectoria lo ligan con una vertiente plástica del realismo mágico, por la construcción de un mundo propio que transita entre la realidad y su imaginación.
Although his work has been classified as pop art, due to the aforementioned characteristics, modern interpretations of his career associate him with a visual offshoot of magic realism as a result of his construction of an individual world that walks the line between reality and his imagination.

Hernando Tejada Sáenz was an artist who was born in Pereira on February 1, 1924 and widely recognized for his varied body of work, which began with drawing and painting and transitioned towards wood and bronze sculpture in the final decades of his career. He was known as “Tejadita” due to his short stature. He was the brother of the artist Lucy Tejada, with whom he exhibited on several occasions. He received the support of art critics in the mid-20th century, and his work is so unique that it is hard to place within the trends of Colombian modern art; it is even linked to a literary avant-garde: Magical Realism. He died in Cali on June 1, 1998.

Biography

Although he spent his early years in Pereira and Manizales, Tejada lived in Cali from infancy and primarily worked and presented his art in the city, with the La Tertulia museum being a vital space for meeting his public. He studied at the Fine Arts Institute in Cali and completed his training at the School of Fine Arts in Bogotá. In the vein of the artists who traveled to tribal, primitive worlds in the first half of the 20th century in order to undergo an internal journey and renew the artistic traditions, Tejada spent a period on the islands of San Andrés and Providencia, and later along the Magdalena river and the Pacific coast, in the company of the artist Alipio Jaramillo. These journeys are mainly evinced in the first phase of his career and the mangrove series that he produced towards the end of his life.

Hernando Tejada had great prominence over the course of his career. In the 1940s he found a place in the modernist current that principally converged in Bogotá, and he formed part of the Generación de los 26, so-called for the number of artists who participated in the Contemporary Painting Exhibition at the National Museum in 1948. In the 1950s he was commissioned to create various murals in public spaces in Cali, Palmira and Bogotá with themes alluding to transport and the history of Cali and Colombia, along with others with more thematic freedom such as the one he produced for the Fine Arts faculty of the National University in the capital Bogotá. He took part in several editions of the National Colombian Artists Show, and in biennials such as those held by Coltejer in Medellín and others in Sao Paulo and Venice.

Artistic career

In the mid-1940s, Tejada arrived in Bogotá and encountered an active generation of artists that included Alejandro Obregón, Enrique Grau, Eduardo Ramírez Villamizar, Edgar Negret, Julio Abril and — of great significance for his foray into muralism — Ignacio Gómez Jaramillo. Around the 1950s, such was his reputation that he enjoyed high regard from the leading art critics of the time, including the Pole Casimiro Eiger and the Argentinian Marta Traba. In the 1960s he held various individual exhibitions and took part in some group shows, highlighting his work as a painter. Women are the central theme of his work, as shown by various series from the period. This interest persisted in the 1970s in the field of sculpture, when he began his work with wood. From this phase his “object-furniture” women stand out, which were titled with female names and dedicated to particular objects and functions. These carvings were prominent at a variety of events: the 2nd Coltejer Biennial in Medellín (1970) where he presented Sacramento, the 3rd Coltejer Biennial (1972) with Abigail, and the Venice Biennale (1982) where he exhibited Estefanía and Teresa. During the 1980s and 1990s, Tejada further explored his naturalist interests by producing a series of carvings on the subject of mangroves, Colombian flora and fauna and still lifes. During this period, he was also involved in the production of puppets and stage design for opera. In 1996 he sealed his artistic career with his donation of El Gato del Río (The Cat of the River) to the city of Cali, a large-scale bronze sculpture that today forms part of the cultural identity of the city and is one of its major tourist attractions.

Characteristics of her work

From the early output of Hernando Tejada, the critics saw in him a resistance to satisfying the tastes of the public, as well as a constant stance towards the renewal and exploration of his own interests. While during the first decades of his career he showed an interest in the Afro-descendant peoples of Colombia and lent himself to nationalist fervor with his murals, between 1960 and 1980 he devoted his efforts to the female image. In his various sculptures on this theme, analysts of his work point to a Baroque method of representation due to the marked ornamentation of the pieces; the inclusion of humor, irony and play; and an intention to call for interaction from the public with his works. Some consider this focus to be pioneering in the history of Colombian art. Although his work has been classified as pop art, due to the aforementioned characteristics, modern interpretations of his career associate him with a visual offshoot of magic realism as a result of his construction of an individual world that walks the line between reality and his imagination.
