We are about to venture into the fascinating world of the famed La Boca artists. This dossier reviews the gravitations of the modernization process of Argentine art throughout the last one hundred years, and the role that its growing cultural institutions played along the way. This investigative work has been authored by Florencia Battiti, and assisted by Cintia Mezza.
1860
Carlos Enrique Pellegrini. Puerto de los tachos, s/d
Towards 1860, the Parisian impresser Lemercier makes colored lithographs titled Buenos Ayres. La Boca del Riachuelo cerca de Barracas, over pictures drawn by the French artist D. Dulin. Two of these lithographs are presently found at the Museo Histórico Nacional, which also houses drawings by P. Mousse, lithographed by A. Clairaux. We can also find other anonymous lithographs about this topic and numerous photographs that register these places between 1900 and 1914.
