Antonio Berni — Ramona en la calle
Antonio Berni

Ramona en la calle

A striking xylo-collage-relief on paper by Argentine master Antonio Berni, this work depicts Ramona, one of Berni's iconic recurring characters, navigating the streets of urban life. The richly textured surface, built up through Berni's signature technique of combining woodcut printing with collaged found materials, conveys both the vibrancy and the harsh realities of the world Ramona inhabits. The composition reflects Berni's deeply humanist vision and his commitment to social commentary through inventive, tactile printmaking.
