Otra Figuración was an art movement in Argentina founded by Jorge de la Vega, Ernesto Deira, Rómulo Macció, and Luis Felipe Noé in 1961. They advocated a return to figurative art when abstract and often geometric styles were prominent, and they worked in an expressive style with bold colors and sometimes mixed media.[1] They not only shared these ideas, but they also shared a studio in Buenos Aires and exhibited together, gaining widespread recognition with an exhibition at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1963.[2] They ultimately disbanded in 1964.[3][4]
