Aldo Pellegrini (1903-1973) was a poet, playwright, essayist, art critic, and a prominent influence on Argentine culture. Linked to the development of Surrealism since its inception, he directed several editorial projects. Pellegrini also supported and expanded the various trends of Abstract art, encouraging groups such as Artistas Modernos de la Argentina [Modern Artists of Argentina] and the Asociación Arte Nuevo [Association of New Art].Carmelo Carrá was born in 1945 in Italy. He developed his Surrealist art in Argentina, establishing connections with Brazil and Chile, during the 1960s.The exhibit C. Carrá: gouaches – dibujos – pinturas [C.Carrá: Gouaches- drawings-paintings], was inaugurated on August 9, 1971, at the Galería Central de Arte, in Santiago, Chile. The text of the prologue was reproduced in Carmelo Carrá: pinturas, serigrafías, serie azul [Carmelo Carrá: paintings, serigraphics, blue series] presented on July 29, 1974, at the Art Gallery International in Buenos Aires. This article shows Pellegrini’s critical view of Carrá’s oeuvre, particularly with reference to the clash of unusual elements and balance on the other hand; in other words between reality and dream, which are at play in Carrá’s work.
