He lived in Paris since 1963, and without losing his connection with the local culture, he held more than 200 solo exhibitions in the five continents. His themes are unmistakably Argentine, with a critical perspective of society, using the rhetoric of irony and humor. Although figuration characterized his work from the beginning, during 1958 and 1962 he created abstract compositions as part of the emergence of Informalism in Argentina and constituted the emblematic group Arte Destructivo (Destructive Art). He worked in narrative and critical series composed of paintings populated by little men with their characteristic hats dressed in the style of the twenties. For some time he used cartoon resources, texts, arrows or diverse signs juxtaposed to the figures that refer to the language of comics, and the plastic elements linked to graffiti. He participated at the XXXII Biennale di Venezia in 1964, XLI Biennale di Venezia in 1984, XXV Bienal de S\u00e3o Paulo in 1987. He was awarded the Prize Bibliofilia, Office de Promotion de I&#8217;Edition Francaise, Paris (1978); Medal of Honor of the VIII Biennial of Engraving, Krakow (1980); Award VII Biennial of San Juan, Puerto Rico (1986); Premio Di Tella, Buenos Aires (1989); Grand Prize Fondo Nacional de las Artes, Buenos Aires (1990); Premio Konex de Platino, Buenos Aires, Argentina (2002); Officier dans l&#8217;Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, Paris (2008). Among his retrospective exhibitions are the ones held in the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes, Buenos Aires (1991), Museo Georges Pompidou, Paris (2005), Museo de Arte Moderno de Buenos Aires \u2013 MAMBA (2011).
