Description: "A History of the Imagination in Argentina" is a journey across land and time. Like rivers that branch out to cover extensive regions, the exhibition explores the different visual motifs engendered on Argentine soil that continue even today to be re-imagined in a variety of different forms, repetitions and new incarnations. The exhibition features over 250 artworks from the 18th century to the present day inspired by three different geographical areas: the Pampas, the riverscape region known as the Littoral and the northeast of Argentina. Each of these landscapes is examined from three separate thematic perspectives: nature, the female body and violence.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held from April 6 to November 3, 2019 at the MAMBA in Buenos Aires.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 277-280).

Texts in Spanish and English.
