biography

Víctor Magariños D. (Buenos Aires, 1924–1993) studied at the Manuel Belgrano School of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires, an institution where he later taught painting. In 1946, he founded and led the “Grupo Joven” (Young Group), composed of artists of his generation. In 1947, he received the Prins Prize from the National Academy of Fine Arts. In 1951, he traveled to Paris on a French government grant, where he connected with artists such as Georges Vantongerloo, Fernand Léger, and Max Bill; it was during this period that he defined an abstract visual language for his work.

Upon returning to Argentina, he continued his creative and teaching work in Buenos Aires until 1967, when he decided to move to Pinamar and build a retreat there—a site that was converted into a museum after his death. Notable solo exhibitions include those held at the Institute of Modern Art in 1951; the Venezuelan-Argentine Center for Cultural and Scientific-Technological Cooperation in Caracas in 1974; the CAYC in Buenos Aires in 1984; the Museum of Fine Arts in Brussels in 1986; the Patricios Foundation in Buenos Aires in 1991; and the National Museum of Fine Arts in Buenos Aires in 1999.

Key group exhibitions in which he participated include the show at the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam in 1953; the 28th Venice Biennale in 1956; the group exhibition “From Concrete Art to New Tendencies” at the Museum of Modern Art in Buenos Aires in 1963; the Di Tella Prize in 1964; the 10th São Paulo Biennial in 1969; and the “Contemporary Art 1942–72: Collection of the Albright-Knox Gallery” exhibition in New York in 1972, among others.
