The glorious days of World Art in Argentina

The fact that back in the late 1920s and early 30s Argentina was a favored nation is worldly known, being the World's barn wasn't an easy task, but it had put our country in the center of the scene. As everywhere else, when the country develops and evolves in terms of economy other aspects of society evolve and develop too, at an even higher rate. That was the case of the Argentine Arts in general: literature, painting, sculptures, music, etc. It was a time when productions were prolific as much as the many groups that associated artists around ideas of what is art, what can art give to society, etc. All in all, this was not something that happened only in our southern latitudes; moreover it was something that happened in and around the world. The combination of progress and war was unusual and interesting, and it triggered that generation of artists to do more, think more, want more.

Back in 1934, Buenos Aires' famous and important Muller Gallery located at

935 Florida st in downtown Buenos Aires, organized one of the most important art shows that would ever take place in our country. Pablo Picasso's works, more precisely a collection of 76 pieces of his most significant works between 1900 and 1928, were shown in Buenos Aires. Ten years before this event, there was a ground breaking exhibit of Petroruti, who's recognized by academics to be the one who introduced cubism in Argentina.

The event was clearly a revolution in the world of Argentine artists and galleries. But it was even more curious that it occurred given the fact that the very own Picasso was truly reluctant to show and exhibit his works. Even more, he was not interested in doing such shows. But somewhat an Argentine art dealer managed to convince him and brought his works. How could Federico C Muller convince the great Pablo Picasso?

The answer is not a mystery, for the very own Muller explained it in the introduction to the exhibit he wrote himself. He explained that he was truly persistence, strengthening the fact the show was to take place in a young and progressive Latin American country, which apparently finally aided in convincing Picasso, who offered Muller all the works of his authorship. In order to show some of the early works Picasso didn't own, Muller contacted Paul Rosenberg's gallery, Wildenstein, Kahnweiler, Thannhauser, as well as a big collector from Berlin.

But this outstanding proposition made by Muller to the Argentine society, by offering them some of the world's most significant 20th century art, did not find the expected response. No sales were made at the time.

The astonished reader might ask: "Why on earth did no one buy one of those outstanding works of art?"

No good answer has come to us yet. But we are obliged to think about this fact. The fact that our collectors, art experts, intrepid critics of art, passed on this one in a lifetime opportunity might find an answer in the state of mind of the Argentine upper classes. The only ones who were in a privileged position to acquire one of those works of art were them, and they gracefully said NO. The answer has more of ideological and political than aesthetical, and it had no economical grounds. While the country developed and grew economically, ideologically, Nationalism had gained terrain among the argentine ruling class. The meaning Picasso works had was too strong, too real, and too powerful for these petty ideologized minds of the Argentine Powerful.

The Argentine president was Agustin P. Justo at the time and his response to the artist Alberto Trabuco who was trying to convince him to acquire Picasso's works for the National Museum of Fine Arts was the following: "For that money I would rather buy two Fernando Fader works". This actually happened and Fader's works are part of the permanent collection of the Museum till these days.

The works that were exhibited by Muller were a broad and fine selection of Picasso's works, covering different periods and techniques, from oil to pastel, gouache, aquarelle, lithography, drawing, bronze sculpture, engraving and dry point. Today many of those works that were shown in Buenos Aires are treasured and can be seen in world top notch museum such as MET Metropolitan Museum of New York, MOMA Museum of Modern Art of New York, Guggenheim Museum of New York, among others.

Hereby a list of some of the works shown:

2 Los amantes. oil, 1900.

3 La comida del ciego, oil, 1903. Metropolitan Museum NYC, donated by Ira Haupt.

Amazing finding by experts while restoring a church, De Vinci Code Chapter missed Chapter file

It is no novelty that Argentina’s early 20^th century architecture is amongst the world’s most interesting ones, not only because of its beauty and mastership, but mainly because the southern argentine location, far from the aesthetic dogma of the Old Continent, offered a place in which ingenious artists managed to add new and significant meaning to the Scholar lines.

The Historical Church of San Francisco, located at the intersection of Alsina st. and Defensa st. is among the most important religious temples of our city. It was built back in 1908 by an artist known as Voegele, of whom we knew very little till yesterday.

The basilica’s sculptural center group is undergoing a restoration process carried on by local art experts. And yesterday, what seemed to be a regular day of work turned out to be a day of new knowledge and amazing findings.

Until the moment of this discovery, the only thing we knew about the church’s sculptures was the name of the artists, now we know that he crafted the figures of St Francis, Christopher Columbus, el Giotto and Dante. Voegele arrived to Buenos Aires when he was only 22 years old, back in 1882, and left a valuable legacy…

The finding of the new information took place when a 29 year old restorer, Hernan Arduca, was working on the Dante’s head and realized that the sculpture was whole, and inside was a little treasure, a wink the artist had left for the generations to come...

The treasure found was a glass jar, inside of which was a tin tea box tided with a couple of strings, the content of the box was a handwritten letter addressed “to whom may find this writings”, four copper cent coins from 1880-90 argentine currency, a couple of pages of La Prensa form August 2^nd 1908, as well as a newspaper from Innsbruck, the artist’s hometown, dated on July 7^th 1908.

The letter detailed the costs, materials and names of the architects who participated in the assembling of the sculpture, and closed with a prayer like salute “hoping that God and St Francis protect this work and give it a long existence”.

The practice of hiding messages within their works of art was part of a long tradition among the artists of the world. From the Cusqueña school artists who included mythological Inca gods in Religious Catholic paintings onwards, the artists have always managed to say a little more in their works, that what’s immediately evident.

The restorers, after giving the matter some thought have come to an agreement, and in two weeks when the restoration is completed, they will follow upon the tradition and leave another legacy inside the head, featuring costs of the work, personal information on the restorers and some kind of personal artifact that will remain inside until next restoration…

Interested in Religious Art? Press here to Religious Art:For there wasn¿t just a one way influence in this sort of art, especially if we take into consideration a very important fact, that being that the great majority of Colonial artists were local aborigines from the great convents of the area. Syncretism is the key word here. If looked at carefully, Colonial religious art might on the surface be similar to European baroque or renaissance, but from a closer approach there¿s a great number of details such as the local scene, animals, physical stereotype, etc, that emerge from the so called European imposed technique.
