Salas reviews Luis Felipe Ortega's career, in dialogue with the content of this book, while Gonzalez focuses on one piece: "Truth Lives at the End of the Tunnel". Salas' overview works in conjunction with Gonzalez's detailed analysis, forming a template for how to approach this intriguing artist. Text in English and Spanish. SELLING POINTS: .
