Abstract

This paper concentrates on the work of Alejandro Puente, an artist from La Plata (Argentina). Particularly after his return from New York, where he experimented new techniques and topics thanks to a Guggenheim scholarship, Puente developed a series of works expressed in a much own pictorial language, quite apart from the objectivity of Northamerican Art. This text explores the ideas that drove Puente to find a new space and language in Latinamerican painting, and shows aspects of his search, by means of which he managed to capture the contradictions of daily life in the region, while eroding the structure of the dominant Modernist opticality.
