Abstract
This paper analyzes the figure of the Italian artist Attilio Rossi as an art critic between 1936 and 1938 in the Argentinian magazine Sur. It investigates how his articles contributed to the professionalization of the figure of the specialized critic and marked the beginning of militant criticism in the city of Buenos Aires. Based on the analysis from interdisciplinary sources, Rossi is considered part of a relentless creative diaspora between Argentina and Italy and addresses the issue of cultural identity reflected in art by interweaving significant relationships between the two countries on the opposite sides of the ocean.
