FROM INDEPENDENCE TO THE 1920's |

 After
Rosas's defeat, there was a group of artists in Buenos Aires who actively
participated in the organization of artistic institutions: under their
impulse, the Society for the Encouragement of Fine Arts (Sociedad
Estímulo de Bellas Artes), the National Museum of Fine Arts
and the Academy were established. These artists used to study in
Europe. Among others, we can evoke Eduardo Sivori (1847-1918),
who is considered as the introducer of Naturalism in Argentina. Among
his works, we can mention: El despertar de la criada (The Maid's
Awakening) and, in the last years, El bañado (The Marshland),
with marked differences in relation to his first stage: a clear palette
with high shading values allowed him to achieve a typical Pampa landscape.
Angel Della Valle (1852-1903), included the countryside subjects
in their works: Gauchos a caballo (Gauchos on Horse) and La
vuelta del malón (The Return of the Malón) are two of
his most representative works. El despertar de la criada, (The Maid's Awakening). Eduardo Sivori. |

the same period are Reinaldo Giudice (1853-1927) and Ernesto
de La Cárcova (1866-1927); in their works, these artists merged
elements from Neoclassicism, Romanticism, Naturalism: a formal repertoire
from another cultural background adapted to this environment. In
early 20th century, Martín Malharro (1865-1911) returned
from Paris. The exhibition of his works, in 1902, is regarded as the moment
when Impressionism appeared in Argentina. With Malharro, Faustino Brughetti
(1877-1956), Walter de Navazio (1887-1919), and Ramón
Silva (1890-1919), the clear landscape was the protagonist
of Argentine painting. Las Parvas, (Grain Heaps). Martín Malharro. |

Fernando
Fader (1882-1935) and the artists with whom he made up the group known
as Nexus, participated in the controversy on the possibility of
a national art (which responded to a wider debate on Nationalism arising
towards late 19th century) reaching its highest peak in the International
Exhibition for the Centenary of 1910. La Mazamorra, (Mazamorra). Fernando Fader. |
