As a commemoration of the birth of Antonio Berni (1905-1981) we offer a broad panorama of his life and his production. Through a thematic study, a chronology and several reproductions and documentary images, we travel across the work of this remarkable creator, one of the most outstanding artists in Argentina and Latin America.

Objects and Settings
 
According to the poetics of the time, which favoured the active participation of the onlooker, Berni experienced with settings. In 1967 he performed La caverna de Ramona at Galería Rubbers, occupying the whole of the gallery with objects, structures and lights designed to go over and submerge into the grotesque universe of the character. El mundo de Ramona, presented in ExpoShow in 1970, was a multimedia exhibition with a complex staging in which took part from the 1965’s Monsters to resources taken from Prague's black theater. For La masacre de los inocentes, mounted in Paris in 1971, with mechanical remains, plastic objects and other leftover stuff Berni realized a sinister army of robots. Five years after, in La difunta Correa, he resorted to relief-picture jazzed up with offerings and ex-votos, recreating the sanctuaries for devotion of that popular figure.
