A Pictorial Dragon, the Art of Fernando Birri

This digital collection celebrates the centennial of Fernando Birri (1925–2017), the pioneering Argentine filmmaker, artist and theorist of the New Latin American Cinema. Featuring drawings, paintings, collages and writings from his personal archive he gifted to the John Hay Library at Brown University in 2008, the collection reveals how Birri used art as a form of reflection and reinvention—responding to exile, identity, as well as the cultural and political urgencies of his time. The materials offer new insight into Birri’s expansive artistic practice and his enduring commitment to experimentation and transformation.
