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.
1920
Antonio Berni
In June, his master Eugenio Fornells organized for him an individual show at Salón Mary y Cía., Rosario. Seventeen oils were exhibited –suburban landscapes and studies on flowers– to which eight charcoal portraits must be added. Berni, who was 14 years old, was called a boy wonder by the press.
