Tigre
The landscape tradition of Argentine art supports their development in a wide range of subjects offered by the homeland. The fertile and infinite plain, mountains that interrupt and adorn the high mountains that serve as boundary to the west, the southern steppes, forests and waters that spill into the Southern Ocean or channelled mighty in large rivers coast.
All those splendid scenarios were tenaciously tours by artists from early travellers who trod this geography, even those who later was elected to settle his life. When the nation already had its own name, followed by integrating contingent artists exploring and opening new land where towns and roads were arming dither growing society. The great city, village and always first port, brought the largest group of artists. And it was from their streets they took to the outdoor landscape. Well close to Buenos Aires , nature was waiting in the Delta of Paraná.
Confluence of green and ochre, plants were forming the maze of islands, creeks, streams and canals serving sieve in the running waters into the River Plate estuary. Since its foundation people learned to walk these places. They hay to wait until mid-nineteenth century to be recognized as Tigre. Jean Leon Palliere left us a lithograph around 1860 with the first image we know of these places. Thereafter it is rare not to find an artist who has not frequented brushes in hand, corners of the Tigre. The life and facts that emerge from the generous river, mailing, fishing, wood and fruit exploitation, primary industries, basic commerce of indispensable goods for its inhabitants, and closer in time, turism and water sports, these are topics that motivate Works like those that form today???s exhibition that Garrido Law firm offers in this monthly meeting of Gallery Nights Buenos Aires.
Through the works of painters embedded in the history of our art, as Binaghi, Borraro, Carnacini, Fara, Heynemann, Induni, Larrañaga, Mac Grech, Oroquieta, Ortolani, Ringer, Roca and Marsal Romero , Soldi, Venier and Vaz ,and the contemporary Cordiviola, Frasca, Malara and Pfeiffee this sample is a kind of navigation, the slow but steady rhythm of rowing or sailing, the ideal landscape of Tigre and its most secret corners, those who see only enlightened eyes of artists.
