Description: Historical-critical publication about the Grupo Joven (Young Group), an art collective composed of artists from different disciplines and founded by Víctor Magariños that defended the "new art" of the post-war period and developed activities between 1946 and the mid-1970s under the slogan "We are not for or against men. We fight forart." In different periods it was formed by P. De Simone, D. Di Stefano, O. Lucentini, D. Chalukian, V. Magariños D., M. A. Vidal, E. Mac Entyre, J. Arcuri, A. Cuberas, L. Torres Nilsson, C. Filevich, R. Bardi, A. Carracedo, H. Mans, R. Laham, among others. These artists worked within modern art and were not limited simply to the development of painting, but experimented with engraving, sculpture, industrial design, animation cinema, etc.; proposals from which they contributed to the consolidation and expansion of Argentine abstract art. Grupo Joven, new art of the 50s rescues and values the early works of its members, while recovering the memory of one of the groups that polemicized with the artists who defended the figurative aesthetics that dominated the art scene in the period of emergence of abstract art, with a view to disseminating and consolidating the expansion of new art.
