The reason for its imagemade up of paintings and photographs from the Museum’s collection, on the occasion of the 105th anniversary of the birth of María Eva Duarte de Perón.
The exhibition proposes a dialogue between works by artists who represented Eva Peron and photographic documents that were able to capture expressions, gestures and work of a figure that crossed geographical and temporal limits.
Eva’s portraits transcended historical moments and were sustained despite everything, consolidating and prevailing in their time. The photographs, which are part of the INIHEP Audiovisual Documentation Center, several of them unpublished, are the connection with yesterday. Along with the paintings, collages and drawings, they present a creative impulse that is manifested in the Museum’s collection.
In this temporary exhibition designed for all audiences, a selection of works by renowned artists attempts to account for the infinite appropriations and meanings that Evita and her action continue to inspire.
Different materialities, styles and techniques give it body once again, in the works of the participating artists: Gladys Abitante, Carlos Azulay, Nora Patrick, Ponciano Cárdenas Canedo, María Silvia Corcuera Terán, Cristina Fresca, Nicolás García Uriburu, Eduardo Iglesias Brickles, Nora Iniesta, Daniela Jozami, Matías Kritz, Mercedes Moreteau, Mauro Nizzero, Nora Patrick, Fernando Prada C., Florence SM Brück, Luis Spina and Juana Torrallardona. The curatorship is Viviana Mallol and Leontina Etchelecu.
“This tour to celebrate her points out common places in her public life – her work and the bond with children, women and the elderly –, tied to the struggle, courage and transformative capacity that Eva so resoundingly embodied,” he points out.
