In order to present Fine Arts History in Argentina from its origins to the present day, we have to make a periodization which enables us to offer, if not a complete knowledge, at least the most relevant landmarks.
On this occasion, we decided to focus on painting and leave the discussion of sculpture for a next opportunity.
This summary will be divided into four large spans: Pre-Hispanic Period, Colonial Period, 19th century to the 1920s, From 1920s to the present day. From one period to the other, there were sudden leaps which were closely related to major political, economic and cultural changes occurring in the country. Every thing here, in El Sur del Sur: Argentina: The country, its culture and its people.
