Estas buenas mujeres [These Good Women]

Rómulo Macció was part of a generation of artists that, during the early 1960s, unleased upon the city of Buenos Aires an iconography of monstrous and heartbreaking male and female figures. For Macció, this strategy was in part a way to rebel against what he considered the sugarcoated style of the older generation of artists. In “Estas buenas mujeres,” he tries out a different approach for depicting women, including a suggestion of a prehistorical mother goddess and young women objectified by the media.
