Links. Photography in Argentina, 1850—2010: Contradiction and Continuity". Getty
From its independence in 1810 until the economic crisis of 2001,
Argentina was perceived as a modern country with a powerful economic
system, a strong middle class, a large European-immigrant population,
and an almost nonexistent indigenous culture. This perception differs
greatly from the way that other Latin American countries have been
viewed, and underlines the difference between Argentina’s colonial and
postcolonial process and those of its neighbors. Comprising three
hundred works by sixty artists, this exhibition examines crucial periods
and aesthetic movements in which photography had a critical role,
producing—and, at times, dismantling—national constructions, utopian
visions, and avant-garde artistic trends
