Historiadores Argentinos – HERNÁN SALAZAR
A magical space in Parque Lago stands in the square Plazoleta Daniel Tinayre, that has the complicity of bringing adults back to unique moments and perfectly identifiable with several stages of their lives, especially childhood. This colorful square exhibits on its white walls the tribute works that the renowned muralist Hernán Salazar made to several Argentine cartoonists, representing their most characteristic and beloved characters.
This parador was inaugurated in 2008 and bears the name of the deceased son of Mrs. Mirtha Legrand, a famous Argentine actress and television host who donated that land to the Municipality. In 2011, a municipal annex was established at the site to provide tourism and cultural services.
Walking through this open-air exhibition as visitors, we will come across, from right to left, Inodoro Pereyra and his faithful companion Mendieta, a Pampas gaucho who sometimes reflected while talking to his mongrel dog, two of the most endearing creatures of the cartoonist Roberto Fontanarrosa.
To the left of them is the adorable, funny, daring, and intellectual Mafalda, daughter of the humorist Quino, whose comic strip emerged in the mid-1960s and early 1970s but has continued to be relevant to the present day. This is the reason why generations and generations of Argentines feel identified with her.
Continuing the exhibit, we find an endearing character: a Patagonian Indian chief again accompanied by his adorable animal companion, fused in a fun image that denotes their adventures,adorably recounted and drawn by Dante Quinterno. They are Paturuzú and his fierce horse Pampero, and this indigenous character was a source of inspiration for important international cartoonists, such as René Gosciny.
On the front wall of the square is the tribute made by Salazar to the cartoonist García Ferré, creator of the beloved character Hijitus with his fellow adventurers.
To the left of this installation, we see a national icon, the endearing Clemente, a creation of the cartoonist Caloi that became a classic of Argentine comics published daily (and for over 40 years) in a newspaper with great national circulation and characterized by making political and economic criticisms but also representing one of the most popular passions in the country: football.
Next, we find a tribute to El Eternauta, by Francisco Solano López, a serialized science fiction comic considered one of the most important in Argentina and all of Latin America.
Next to it is the image of Matías with his cat, a naughty, funny, and adorablely naive child drawn by Sendra.
And finally, to end the tour of the square’s installation, we are surprised by two loving characters from the Uruguayan cartoonist Tabaré, Diógenes and the Hobo, which has been published uninterruptedly since 1977.
