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.
1899
Alfredo Lazzari. Montes de Oca y Lamadrid, 1899
La Unión is founded in La Boca, a catholic publication encouraged by Antonio F. Molinari. It was bought afterwards by Celestino Fernández and Guillermo Tallon, and it changed to La Actualidad (Current Events). Under this denomination it appears three times a month, covering topics such as art, literature and current events. Towards 1917, it trespasses the limits of La Boca, to set up in the Barracas neighborhood.
