Argentine painter Antonio Berni 19905-1981
His parents were of Italian origin and had come to Argentina along with thousands of immigrants. Berni was a child prodigy who at age fourteen his first exhibition. Dedicated to paint landscapes and portraits, made three consecutive exhibitions and critical writing with enthusiasm about their jobs. In 1923 he exhibited for the first time in Buenos Aires and in 1924 began his submissions of works to the National Exhibition of Fine Arts who was then the most important public tender in the country had para pintores y escultores. Para los artistas argentinos, desde fines del siglo XIX, era fundamental, después de estudiar en la Argentina, perfeccionar el oficio viviendo durante algún tiempo en París o Roma. Se trataba de completar lo aprendido en nuestro país y establecer contacto con lo que pasaba en otras partes del mundo. En 1925, el Jockey Club de Rosario le otorgó al joven Berni una beca para estudiar en Europa. Se instaló en París y algunos viajes por España, Italia, Holanda y Bélgica le permitieron conocer museos, artistas y obras de la historia del arte que van influenciando sus trabajos. Por ejemplo, en Italia estudia a los maestros del Renacimiento del siglo XV y viaja por ciudades as Florence visiting its churches, palaces and museums. Berni 
restless will constantly finding incentives for their own works. During the five years living in Paris intellectual bohemian haunts of the city and known writers, poets, filmmakers, politicians, philosophers and artists from different countries who agree on the French capital. These were years of strong cultural transformations after World War Ptimera; of the Russian revolution, the spread of socialism, had appeared in psychoanalysis and
the science presented new theories. The artists from the first decade of the century. had revolutionized the field of art proposals that were moving away from traditional painting concerned about representing reality as they see it with your eyes. New groups and movements that are called avant
propose different languages. The world is changing and the role and problems of art as well. Bemi attentive to all that attended, along with other Argentine artists then living in Europe and Raquel fomer, Alfredo Bigatti, Horacio Butler and Lino Enea Spilimbergo, one of his closest friends.
The main descubrimiehto to Berni in these years was the relationship between art and politics, the role of the artist as a man of his time as social actor. Berni is about communism and from his interest in policy is committed in his paintings reflect the reality of the world you live. Since then, for him, painting is his way of thinking about reality and try to transform the world marginal workers.
At the same time, meet one of the most important avant-garde artists of the time: the
surrealism, for some years and adhere to its principles. The surrealists seek to free the imagination and the forces of the unconscious in dreams, seek to express the artist's inner life without the intervention of reason and its
images, instead of being similar to reality, they are as unrelated as possible between sí. Ellos reúnen imágenes imposibles de ver juntas en la realidad y alteran los tamaños de los objetos y los ponen en escenarios en los que nosotros, espectadores, no podemos encontrar explicaciones racionales. Por ejemplo, en elóleo de Berni "La puerta abierta", el muro, la puerta, la llave y el alfiler de ganchos gigantescos, los cubos de colores, la cerradura fuera de lugar, el timbre y la letra "T", todas son piezas de un rompecabezas misterioso para inventar historias.
En 1930, Berni regresa a Rosario, junto con su mujer, la artista francesa Paule Caz
enave y su hija Lilí. Sigue pintando, exponiendo y participando de los salones de bellas artes y trabaja como empleado en la municipalidad.

Las.huelgas, the creation of the Central Obrera, unemployment, electoral fraud, the rise of fascism and political persecution marked the context in which the painting becomes Berni. His surreal paintings changes with large crowds of workers and peasants, extremely realistic in their descriptions. Berni is using photography as a document to make the poses and portraits of his characters. Berni writes about the New Realism a painting that must reinterpret the social, political and economic history of time. In 1934 painted with tempera on burlap and "Unemployment" and "Manifestation."
