Raúl Soldi & Benito Quinquela Martín
Through this interesting itinerary we fully introduce ourselves in the life and artistic performance of Raúl Soldi, one of Argentina's main artists. His oils, lithography's and murals, resemble a world of delicate colors, accurate designs, and stylized figures.
We will first visit his famous mural painted in the Colon theatre's duome, were we will appreciate the harmony, which characterizes his figures, as well as his amazing selection of colors. We will then be transferred to Galería Santa Fé, were we will admire the duome which Soldi began painting in 1953.
The itinerary ends in the neighborhood of Glew, were we will visit Soldi's Foundation in which we will observe some of his master pieces and finally visiting Glew's Santa Ana's Church, in which Soldi painted some very impressive murals.
During the end of the XIX century, the neighborhood of La Boca, was a preferred settlement area for Italian immigrants. They brought with them their illusions, dreams and hopes as well as their own cultural traditions which they established in their new home, thus generating an identity which still prevails.
In this itinerary we invite you to discover the neighborhood of La Boca as well as the artistic work of Benito Quinquela Martín, the neighborhood's most renowned painter, and one of the main propagators of the immigrant culture.
His works of art reflect Port scenes and scenes from the shipping activities which took part in La Boca, and showing the harshness of life in La Boca during the first decades of the XIX century.

Florencio Molina Campos
His accurate drawings and every day life motifs, together with his ironic sense of humor expressed through his cartoons, make Florencio Molina Campos one of our most representative painters.
