The art critic Leonardo Starico creates the Boliche del Arte (the Art Pub) that meets at the Cooperativa Artística (Artistic Cooperative). Between October and November they house the “Gran Fiesta de la Pintura Jóven” (The grand party of young painters) where Ballester Peña, Del Prete, Forner, Giambiagi, Gómez Cornet, Guttero, Pettoruti, Pissarro, Sibellino, Tapia and Xul Solar participate. The critic Atalaya (Alfredo Chiabra Acosta) writes the prologue of the catalogue under the title of “Schools and celebrities”.
