Antonio Berni
El chico de la gorra colorada (Juanito Laguna)
-
In El chico de la gorra colorada (Juanito Laguna), Antonio Berni constructs a portrait of strong psychological intensity, where the figure emerges with a frontal and concentrated presence. The red cap forms the expressive center of the composition and reinforces the visual identity of the character, connected to the universe of Juanito Laguna, one of the most emblematic figures in his work.
The combination of gouache and crayon creates a vibrant surface, with direct mark-making and sensitive nuances, giving the face an intimate and deeply human presence.
