Abstract
In Argentina, many of the artists outside of the capitol are not studied despite how important they might be to the history of Argentina. I was once passing through a town in La Pampa, and I walked into a local museum. On a temporary display, I saw beautiful photographs taken from the 1920s and later. As a student of art history, I was intrigued by the works and wanted to know more about the photographer. I asked the lady at the museum if there was a pamphlet or book about the artist that I could purchase to learn more about him. She regretfully informed me that there was nothing on him that I could take with me. When she saw my dismay, she informed me that the photographer’s granddaughter, however, lived in town and I could ask her any question I might have.
