Retrospective of figurative painter Enrique de Larrañaga (San Andrés de Giles, 1900 - Buenos Aires, 1956) that rescues his long and prolific trajectory, spanning from his early creations in Spain to his landscapes in the 1950's. Larrañaga was one of the few artists that favor the regime of Juan Domingo Perón", this political affiliation later, caused the neglect of his work "'Peronist painter' or 'painter of the regime' his destiny was political persecution, the separation of his name from the history of art in Argentina, ostracism and even the destruction of some of his most emblematic works. His early death in 1956 reinforced the idea that Larrañaga was the painter that never happened. The task of curator Roberto Amigo starts with the rescue of this talented and versatile Argentine painter, whom reigned as a great and master artist a decade before Perón came to power. His art or aesthetic recognition has nothing of "Peronista": his talent was renowned by the prizes he obtained in the 1930's, all that could be won in those times." (Our translation) --Page 11.
