Headquarters of the official institutions and the representative private entities, in these population centers were grouped together most of the artisit their schools and academies, museums and galleries that under pinned an incipient market, and in their mass media the most influential critical voices were made. However, this urban profile marked, cities were not the most convenient subject of the artists in the figuration space.
As if the city life severs its expressive possibilities, artist got the swing and privileged the well nearest rural landscape, close to then, beyond the last houses of the increasing urban fabrics. The nearby suburbs, and behind them the infinite spaces of the plain, attracted their looks, and the field and their circumstances assumed the role of plastic realization.
