Biographical/Historical Note
Emilio Pettoruti was born in La Plata, Argentina, of Italian parents. In 1913 he went to Italy, where he came in contact with
the Italian avantgarde (F. T. Marinetti, and later the group around Giacomo Balla and Giorgio de Chirico). In 1921 he went
to Munich and in 1923 was invited to exhibit at Der Sturm gallery in Berlin. He returned home in 1924, opening an exhibit
of his work in Buenos Aires at the Witcomb gallery. Pettoruti taught at the university and served as director of the Fine
Arts museum in La Plata while continuing to paint. In 1952 he returned to Europe and in 1953 he settled in Paris, where he
lived for the rest of his life.

Scope and Content of Collection
Forty-seven letters are addressed to Julio Payró from Emilio Pettoruti. Pettoruti's wife, Maria Rosa, typed many of the letters
and sometimes added a note at the end, signing with her initials. Four letters are entirely hers. One letter is to Pettoruti
from the Comisión Argentina de Artistas Plásticos por la Paz.
Most of the letters are dense with information about modern art and artists, artistic events, and their echo in the media.
Pettoruti informs Payró about Argentinian artists working abroad, and discusses European artists and the impact of politics
on exhibition reviews. His patriotic euphoria at the downfall of the Peronist dictatorship is soon followed by disenchantment
and criticism. The artist and his wife try to explain his new work and innovative colors to Payró, who is writing about Pettoruti
for
Studio magazine.
A typed inventory lists the paintings in Pettoruti's 1924 exhibit at the Witcomb gallery; 4 clippings review his 1953 exhibit
in Rome.
Because of the fragility of the letters, the entire collection was scanned by the repository in 2003. The numbering for each
item refers to the individual digital images.
