                        <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">Born in Rosario, Santa Fe province, Argentina, in 1905, he was a painter and printmaker and one of the first Latin American surrealist artists. Also a bulwark of narrative social realism. With a particular critical gaze on society, people, the neighborhood and the street were his main inspiring muse</p>
                        <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">He was a painter and engraver and one of the first Latin American surrealist artists. Also a bulwark of narrative social realism. With a particular critical gaze on society, people, the neighborhood and the street were his main inspiring muse.</p>
                        <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">At the age of ten he enters an apprentice in a polychrome stained glass workshop. There he learns drawing. At the age of fifteen he was already very clear about his vocation. In 1925 he traveled to Europe to continue his studies with a scholarship. There he discovers the avant-garde and begins in some of the techniques (engraving and collage) and styles (Fauvism and Surrealism) that would make up his future work.</p>

                        <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s"> In Paris he is related to the Argentine artists who were there, known as the “Paris Group”. He meets the Marxist philosopher Henri Lefebvre, who introduces him to the surrealist poet Louis Aragon, with whom Berni shares ideas about art’s commitment to revolution.</p>
                        <p class="wow fadeInLeft" data-wow-delay=".4s">In 1930 he returned to Argentina and settled with his French wife and daughter in the city of Rosario. In 1931 he joined the Communist Party and, the following year, provoked the Buenos Aires public with a surreal exhibition (the first in Argentina), held at the Amigos del Arte Association. From that moment on, Berni turned to critical realism. In 1933 he participated, with David Alfaro Siqueiros, Lino Enea Spilimbergo, Juan Carlos Castagnino and Enrique Lázaro, in the realization of the mural “Plastic Exercise”, in the fifth of Natalio Botana, director of the newspaper Crítica.</p>

The predominant technique is material collage (made from waste materials) such as photomontage. In this period he created two characters: Juanito Laguna and Ramona Montiel. The history of these two beings will envelop him by time and with them he will transcend many more. Both “Juanitos” and “Ramonas” were quoted on the foreign market at incalculable prices.</p>
