Description: Exhaustive research that addresses the life and work of Anita Payró, a key artist in geometric abstraction in Argentina. Daughter of Roberto J. Payró, writer and journalist, and sister of Julio E. Payró, painter and pioneer of art history, Anita studied at the École Bischoffsheim of Brussels and began her production directly in the field of abstraction, without going through figuration. In addition, she made designs for the textile industry, always faithful to abstraction. As a painter, she had a large number of exhibitions and participated in the Venice Biennale of 1956. "Despite her contribution in the local field of abstraction, critical legacy was much less than of her male contemporaries," says author Gluzman of this artist whose unique trajectory differs from the path of the artists of her time, and who in life was widely recognized as an artist and as a scholar. The book includes a section titled Documental Anthology with texts by Juan Corradini, Blanca Stábile, Anita Payró, Daniel Fiorino, Cayetano Córdova Iturbur.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references (pages 186-187).
