Dibujos

Description:

A selection of drawings by autodidact artist Juan Del Prete (Italy 1897 - Buenos Aires 1987). Since 1937, the plastic artist Eugenia Crenovich, known as Yente, became his disciple and couple. "I entered the exhibition of drawings of Del Prete at the behest of Ignacio Pirovano who came out of the same impressed and found it in the street: 'Go in, it is something that shrinks the chest, because of its strength'". --Yente. "Del Prete is the first painter of the 20th century who did not need the avant-gardes to exist. His work is anti-avant-garde, anti-program, and for any category he has the NO easy. That's why distinguishing it between abstract and figurative is foolish." --Santiago Villanueva.
