Description: Yente and Juan Del Prete make up one of the most important couples of Argentine art history, although each with their own characteristics, and ways of experimenting with different materials, formats and media: paintings, sculptures, collages, tapestries, drawings and even artists' books. With more than 130 works, this is the first joint exhibition of the precursors of abstract art in Argentina, in which the artistic confluences are traced over 50 years of work. The exhibition Vida venturosa goes further and presents us with a creative intimacy, with details (and works) that intertwine the affective and the creative. Eugenia Crenovich, better knows as Yente, was an avant-garde artist who participated from the beginning in the abstraction movement in Argentina (1937) and was the first female artist from Argentina to practice it. Her work went through various phases, with links to both post-cubism, geometric constructivism and free abstraction.  She met the painter and sculptor Juan Del Prete in 1935 and were life partners until the death of Del Preste in 1987.
Notes: Published on the occasion of the exhibition held between March 11 and June 27, 2022 at the Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires.
