The Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires, (Argentina) hosts an exhibition dedicated to Antonio Seguí, a Argentinian painter, sculptor and illustrator, known as "El Gallego Seguí” who lives in Paris since 1963. The exhibition showcases a set of 122 prints donated by the artist, which has been added to the 330 works that the artist gave to the museum in 2001.
The print collection allows visitors to go through the artist's creative process. His graphic works, where buildings, aeroplanes and mutilated animals are represented, are characterized by a great vitalism, sometimes expressed with grotesque brutality and sometimes with concise simplicity.
According to the author, each work tells a story that generally includes childhood memories and impressions of the city life. The hieratic characters, whether tango dancers or from the Argentinian folklore, represent a critical perspective of society in a humoristic way.
Location: Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires, Avenida San Juan 350, 1147. Ciudad De Buenos Aires, Argentina.
Hours: from Monday to Friday from 12am to 7pm. Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 8pm.
