In February 1951, Luis Seoane and his wife Maruja visited Antonio Baltar and Mireya Dieste in Chos Malal, a town in the Neuquen province of Argentina. Antonio was working there as a doctor at the mining settlements. Inspired by how his friend would describe the area in his letters, Seoane decided in 1949 to go on a productive trip: a long stay in that part of the country to get a sense of it and depict it in his art works. He also intended to contact places about exhibitions in the nearby towns, as he wanted to widen the circuit beyond Buenos Aires. They finally went on their trip in February 1951. Based out of Chos Malal, where their hosts lived, the Seoanes would go on shorter trips to places like Copahue, El Huecú, Andacollo, Cordillera del Viento, Las Ovejas and along the Neuquen river. Seoane would do on-site sketches of the sites and the landscapes they saw, which he would later use as reference for oil paintings and watercolours. This exhibition offers a selection of those sketches and paintings, as well as a few photographs from that time, which give an account of the artist’s tour through Southern Argentina.
