Woman Combing Her Ha

Famous plaster sculpture located at the J.B. Castagnino Municipal Museum of Fine Arts.

In 1939, Fontana returned to Argentina. He had a varied artistic activity, but was especially devoted to figurative sculptures with neoimpressionist characteristics, expressionist features, and a clear influence of the archaism of Arturo Martini. His works from that time showed great creativity. Made in 1940, “Woman Combing Her Hair” belongs to that period and shows a certain influence by Medardo Rosso, mainly in the dialectics in the use of spatial light.
