| Sumario: | This article analyzes some paintings made by some Argentine women artists, in an effort to make visible radical ways of displaying the female body in the Argentinian art of the period. They shared the exhibiting facilities offered by the Salón Nacional, therefore trying to be part of the art official scene. However, they created images that jeopardize the male’s right of looking and that offer a sharp contrast with the works of male artists. Along with the figures in the tradition of the School of Paris, which flooded the yearly exhibitions, this neglected feminine undercurrent offers a unique chance to reflect on the biases that have shaped the official history of art in Argentina. |
