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.

He recreated the subject of the neighborhood soccer squad in Team de fútbol. The impoverishment of the interior of the country and the resultant migration of population in search for work were represented in paintings like Vuelta de la escuela and Migración (Santiago del Estero series). Estación San Antonio de Areco, Isla Maciel or Día patrio are examples of different sorts of suburban landscapes, which convey a metaphysic atmosphere, persistent in this series.
Berni’s article “Arte colonial” was published by the magazine Saber Vivir.
