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.
1957
Antonio Berni with his sketching notebook at a slum
In El río (a suburban landscapes series), a group of very poor huts were painted yuxtaposing planes of thick matter; its synthesis approximates it to abstraction.
The magazine Propósitos issued “Persecución a la inteligencia”. Berni exhibited the series of Chaco at Galería Witcomb, Buenos Aires.
