1963 - Exhibition at Salón J. Peuser

In his fifth art exhibition—and perhaps his most expressionist—Roberto Pignataro unveiled fourteen new paintings in what seems to be a visual commentary on the cyclical political violence the country was experiencing at the time. The show took place July 17-31, 1963, at Salón J. Peuser, Florida 750, Buenos Aires, AR.
