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.
1952
Three sketches of 1952
Of his marriage with Nélida Gerino, Berni’s son José Antonio was born.
The miserable reality of northern wood works was reflected in a cycle of paintings Berni performed after photographs taken in Santiago del Estero.
Sketches of lonely outskirts landscapes prolonged a series of studies which would extend throughout the decade.
He published “El arte como experiencia” in the magazine Continente and “Actualidad de Leonardo” in Propósitos. He painted the murals of the IFT Theater and realized an individual show at Galería Viau, Buenos Aires.
