Larrañaga at the MNBA...

3:34 p.m.

Larrañaga is the last temporary exhibition the MNBA will be presenting this year and it's a retrospective of Enrique de Larrañaga, who lived between 1900 and 1956. Which are its high points?
- The always impeccable curatorship of Roberto Amigo, who was able to trace the road from the first paintings to the last works, showing the artist's evolution in style and skills. 
- How Larrañaga's early years were much influenced by Fernando Fader (1882-1935).
Algarrobo viejo, by Enrique de Larrañaga (1925)
Technique: oil on canvas / Measures: 120 x 135 cm
- The great number of paintings in exhibition, many of which belonging to Argentine private collectors. 
- The delicacy of the Museum's team who, with the curator's approval, decided to display the most "political" works in a more private hall. 
- The paintings depicting the circus and its characters, so full of colour.
Los siete titiriteros, by Enrique de Larrañaga (1943)

El Palco, by Enrique de Larrañaga (1936)
Technique: oil on canvas / Measures: 138 x 118 cm
- The excellent portraits, among them those of the wife of the artist, Isabel Roca, which received an award at Paris Exhibition in 1937, and of artist Benito Quinquela Martín.

Larrañaga's art outstands for its positive touches, specially in the works about the circus. It's worth visiting the exhibit to get to know this artist that belongs to the Argentine heritage.
