Pablo Suárez (Argentina, 1937-2006)
He entered Agronomy School but devoted himself to art as a self-taught artist. His first exhibition was at the Lirolay gallery in 1961. He took part in Instituto Di Tella and Tucumán Arde [Tucumán Burning] in 1968. He retired to San Luis and Córdoba in the seventies, embracing a realistic style. He returned to a critical social denunciation approach merging humor, pop art and grotesque realism in the eighties. He had a huge influence on the artists at Centro Cultural Rojas in the nineties. He was awarded, among others, the Premio Costantini in 1999.
