'Sueño N°16 (Sirena del mar)' is the artwork of the day

Pettoruti was born in La Plata in 1892. The museum describes him as an indispensable reference for understanding the beginnings of abstraction in Argentina.

The #LaObraDelDía spotlight features ‘Naranja, magenta y azul,’ a 1966 work by César Paternosto associated with geometric art.

The ground-floor room brings together European paintings and sculptures from the 14th to 16th centuries alongside medieval art.

The Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes has mourned the death of Carlos Alonso, describing him as a great master and an unavoidable reference point in the contemporary visual history of the country.
