Claudio Gorrochategui (1917, Rio Gallegos, Argentina – 1991, Buenos Aires) In the Billiards Room The quiet, subdued atmosphere of a simple café interior with sparse furnishings and a few introspective men—which this painting masterfully captures—is unmistakably Gorrochategui’s work. The self-taught artist, who undertook many journeys through South America and Europe, participated in countless exhibitions, and boasts a long list of awards, eventually settled in the legendary La Boca neighborhood of Buenos Aires. Known for his depictions of corrugated-iron houses, bars, and entertainment venues, he found inspiration there for his subjects—the street scenes, interiors, and people—which he skillfully characterized using a subtle, understated, flat, and highly reduced painting style. Oil on masonite. Signed and dated (19)79. Artist’s label on the reverse. 24 cm x 30 cm. Framed. Oil on masonite. Signed and dated.
