Abstract

This paper sought to understand the reading material from specialized art critics about the series of engravings denominated Plants by the Argentinean artist León Ferrari (Buenos Aires, 1920). This reading material typifies these works as non-political, which belong to a moment when the artist was little engaged. Our work shows another interpretative possibility, where the content looks at the relationships between the ordinary and everyday policies/politics.
