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.
1971
“... La masacre de los inocentes is the expression of warlike aggressiveness, of the exaltation of the troops, of undiscriminating police assaults, of intellectual terror mercilessly acting on families, workers, defenseless children.” 
Michel Troche and Gérald Gassiot-Talabot wrote extended essays for the catalog-book Berni published by Editions Georges Fall, in French and Spanish.
As a tribute to Latin American guerillas he painted Los rehenes. In Confesión exitosa, also belonging to this year, he explicitly denounced repression.
