Description: Artist, theorist and curator Gabriela Francone (Argentina 1970) is the author of the book devoted to surrealism, particularly in Argentina, an episode often ignored in the art history about the movement that emerged in the interwar period. In addition to rescuing important facts, not always recognized and even, sometimes, ignored, this exhaustive investigation  rescues important representatives of the movement like of Antonio Berni and Juan Batlle Planas, critic Aldo Pellegrini and the Spanish theorist Guillermo de Torre, an  authority on the subject of the avant-gardes.
