The obsession of Carlos Alberto González (director of MAMBo) to collect artworks created between the two Great Wars resulted in the largest art deco exhibition in Colombia till this day. The selected pieces included decorative art objects, furniture, crockery, appliances, advertising posters and art works from Sergio Trujillo Magnenat, Jacques Leclerc, Alipio Jaramillo and Ignacio Gómez, the last two being members of the group Bachu, an art movement which defended nationalistic aesthetics strongly influenced from the Mexican muralists.
