The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes presents Artistic itineraries between Argentina and Spain (1880–1930), an exhibition that explores the personal connections, artistic exchanges, and mutual influences between creators from both countries during a key period of cultural transformation. Through a selection of more than sixty works and historical documents, the exhibition traces the circulation of ideas, styles, and artistic practices between Argentina and Spain at the turn of the twentieth century.
Curated by museum researchers Florencia Galesio, Paola Melgarejo, and Patricia Corsani, the exhibition brings together paintings, sculptures, prints, and decorative objects from the museum’s collection alongside loans from other institutions. The selection highlights the diverse artistic dialogues that emerged through travel, academic training, migration, and shared cultural networks, revealing how artists from both countries shaped and redefined their visual languages in response to broader social and historical changes.
The exhibition is part of a broader exchange project involving specialists from Spain and Latin America, promoted by the Department of Fine Arts at the Faculty of Philosophy and Letters of the University of Granada in Andalusia. By combining historical research with a transnational perspective, the project seeks to deepen the understanding of the artistic and intellectual ties that connected both regions during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
