Near life and people's feelings. Gustavo Cochet (1894-1979)

Gustavo Cochet (1894-1979) is a key artist of our city. Member of the first generation of local artists, sample a peculiar approach to realism that exceeded the previous characterizations of art in Rosario. The presence of Atalaya (Alfredo Chiabra Acosta) and the circle of nearby artists to Martín Malharro in Rosario’s cultural circles, frequented by the young painter, his active participation in the cultural spaces of Barcelona and Paris (since of mid ‘10) and his militant adherence to the Spanish Republic, carved his sensitivity, marked by a strong anarchist posture and a full identification of art with the daily life.
