Description: The exhibition gathers close to 90 artworks from various 19th century artists of the "generation of the 80s," a group of academic founders of the MNBA, the Nacional Academy and the Ateneo of Fine Arts. This group of academic artists included names now considered the main art figures of the port city of Buenos Aires for 3 decades (1880 to 1910) such as: Eduardo Sívori, Eduardo Schiaffino, Ernesto de la Cárcova, Ángel Della Valle, Augusto Ballerini, Reinaldo Giudici, Severo Rodríguez Etchart, Arturo Dresco, Giuseppe Aguyari, along with other artists who united against the eagerness to "enslave taste and sterilize genius" and who pioneered the internalization of Argentine art.
