One hundred years after his birth and on the way to the fortieth anniversary of his death (in January 2026), the exhibition invites the public to rediscover Arcuri’s sensitivity and deep look at the La Pampa landscape.
Far from proposing a chronological journey, the exhibition proposes an educational approach to different moments of Arcuri’s life: his link with music, his technical training in drawing, his teaching work and friendships with prominent figures of the La Pampa’s culture. His main exhibitions are also recovered, with special emphasis on his last journey through 32 towns of La Pampa, which he titled “Visit to my comprovincials”.
Biography #
Andrés Arcuri (1925–1996) was born on January 3, 1925 in General Acha, province of La Pampa. He studied artistic and technical drawing at a distance in Buenos Aires, while working as a construction worker. Although he did not have extensive formal training in painting, his vocation was early and with perseverance and talent, he became one of the most recognized plastic artists in the province.
From 1955 he began to exhibit his works and in the course of his career he came to hold more than one hundred exhibitions, individual and collective, which showed his artistic production at a provincial, national and international level.
His work, fundamentally of landscape and local costumbrismo, is distinguished by a very personal style, with marked strokes and intense palette, to express the essence of the countryside, the geography and the characters of his land.
Arcuri achieved important recognitions in his career. He won multiple awards in provincial and regional salons, including a ‘First Prize Pampean Author’ and other awards in salons in Bahía Blanca, Neuquén and Tornquist.
