Arturo Alape A year ago, writer, painter, revolutionary, investigator, in a word, a man who seemed to come of the romance, I said with a sly smile, as if looking for one of the complications which he used to easily find, which would expose a "bestiary" in which he worked and would like to do in the University of Salamanca in Bogota.

Few activities are more appropriate for a University Cultural Centre to the exhibition of the work of a painter-writer, especially if it is one of those "bestiary" which, in addition to its literary spirit is emparientan with a tradition that comes from the Middle Ages. After a conversation, which took a few minutes, the sample agreed that a date would be inaugurated in October 2006.

In April, Arthur, one of those leave between ironic and were so enthusiastic that his, he told me he was working hard in the "bestiary" and sealed the emphatic statement with a grimace as to label some Pilatuña. However, in late September telephoned to manifest, with unconcealed regret that it was necessary to postpone the exhibition since internaría next day in a clinic to undergo a process of chemotherapy. Days later emerged, a Sunday morning full of chiaroscuro, the sad news: Carlos Arturo Ruiz, Arturo Alape as it used or signed and as everyone knew, had truncated leukemia. The researcher, historian, anthropologist, novelist, revolutionary, painter, essayist, and above all, a friend, who left a remarkable footprint behind, killed one of those days, rather, should have dealt with end of collages and drawings.

With the kind cooperation of Katia Gonzalez, his widow, "The Bestiary Alape" set out in the halls that Arthur wanted to end the cultural activities of the Centre of the University of Salamanca in Bogota this year. Fernando Toledo
