The National Museum of Fine Arts in Argentina has highlighted 'La ronda' (1996) by Argentine artist Eduardo Giusiano in its latest '#LaObraDelDía' post. The museum’s short text describes the work as expressionist and points to its use of impasto, thick brushstrokes and vivid colors to intensify a sense of movement.
According to the museum, 'La ronda' presents figures of indeterminate gender. The post does not offer a longer interpretive text or exhibition context, but it identifies the painting by title, date and artist, and frames it through the lens of Argentine Expressionism.
Giusiano’s painting is presented as part of the museum’s ongoing daily spotlight format, which uses social media to draw attention to individual works in its collection or curatorial orbit. In this case, the emphasis is on the material handling of paint and the animated composition rather than on a broader historical narrative.
The museum’s description underlines the relationship between technique and effect. The impasto surface and thick lines are singled out as formal devices that contribute to the work’s energetic character, while the vibrant palette supports the sense of motion already suggested by the title 'La ronda', which implies a circle or round dance.
The post gives little further information about Giusiano’s biography or the painting’s acquisition history, and it does not situate the work within a specific exhibition. Its focus remains on the artwork itself and on the concise visual reading offered by the museum.
'La ronda' was created in 1996 and is now the subject of the museum’s latest daily feature, shared on 29 July 2026.
