Accompanies the first exhibition in the United States to examine the inventive activities of a thriving artistic community in Buenos Aires during a period of national and global conflict.

In the years leading up to the Spanish Civil War (1936-39) and World War II (1939-45), over 200,000 Europeans fled to Argentina, where many chose to settle permanently. The influx of new arrivals within the Buenos Aires artistic scene set off a flurry of creative partnerships between European exiles and Argentine locals. Buenos Aires Modern, 1935-1950 explores the resulting cultural hybridization, revealing how exiles incorporated Argentine cultural influences into their practices and Porteño (Buenos Aires-born) artists adapted various international modernisms to the cultural context of Argentina.
