JUAN CARLOS CASTAGNINO Argentine
painter and drawer. He's born in 1908 and died in 1972 Everybody
agree to consider him a real argentine painter, where
vernacular things are ascended to a universal hierarchy.
León Benarós said... "Castagnino focus his paint
in man. The human shape is integrated to the landscape.
He dignifies the presence of his creatures of bone and
flesh, without tempering the harshness of the gesture too
much; with which life has marked them". A great
artist, not only in the country, but also overseas, where
he'd been honored. |
MARIANO PAGÉS. A sculptor, born in the Province of San Juan
in 1922. He mastered different materials such as wood,
marbles, granites, bronzes, etc. and it must be pointed
out how fine he works the different elements. He is an
artist that knows perfectly the placing of a shape in
space and these is observed in his small or big works,
that there are exposed in the principals' museums.In the
2000-year begins inaugurate the Carlos Gardel's statue in
the homonymous street of the Abasto, work that reaches a

ENRIQUE GAIMARI Argentinean sculptor. He is born in Buenos
Aires in 1911 and dies in 1999. He studied in the
National School of fine arts where collegiate in 1933, as
drawing professor. Starting from there an incessant
search begins, so much in the conceptual sense as in the
instrumental one; a quantity of materials has worked this
way, different types of wood (where it has stood out)
marbles, stones and materials as the brass and the
aluminum. It presented numerous personal exhibitions and
it participated in official and deprived living rooms so
much in the country as abroad, obtaining for their works
the most significant and important prizes in the artistic
means. He died leaving a very big legacy in colleagues
and pupils. |
ROBERTO ROSAS Born in Guaymallén, Province of Mendoza, in
1938, he studied in the Superior School of Beaux Arts at
the University of Cuyo. Rosa's methodic and regular
sculptoric performance has been the target of an
important criticism throughout his numerous and important
prizes. Roberto Rosas adopted the metal for his
sculptures as a natural element; unprescindeble; which he
models and forges, diversifying smooth and tortuous zones,
all of them handcrafted at the "Rosa's Style",
which give the so original tempered appearance. Cesar
Magrini's critical judgement is authentic and real saying...
"So spiritual forms, with firm inventive and
inserted in space as if they were natural parts of it". |
