The National Beauty Arts Museum
(MNBA, 1473, Del Libertador Ave) presents a fantastic exhibition of one of our
greatest comic and drawing artists: Oscar Esteban Conti, known as Oski. The
name of the exhibition is “Oski: a crazy monk” and celebrates the centennial of
the birth of this Argentine creator. Hostel Colonial tells you all you need to
know about the works of the great Oski.
Until November 25th “Oski,
a crazy monk” will be the star exhibition of the Museum. Curated by contemporary
modern comic master Rep, it includes almost 75 works of the artist born in
1914. Here, you will see some of its first works published in “Cascabel”
magazine and some of its most outstanding drawings in the magazines: “Vea y Lea”,
“Cabalgata”, “El Hogar” y “Clarín”, among others.
His work is famous for its pure
lines -almost calligraphic- in black and white, with a moderate yet significant
use of color. There are always details, hatches, with no shadows or volume and
a very particular sense of perspective. A unique style you will discover
through the works of this great exhibition. Lots of humor and historical
references are what you’ll find on its panels. Come and enjoy a true classic in
our main museum.
