Rídere! [Laugh!]

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 “Rídere,” he tries out a different approach for depicting women, including a fierce skeletal figure.
