Summary

Since 1998, it was common ground to mention that the inexhaustible Mildred Burton (Paraná, 1942-Buenos Aires, 2008) had held more than four hundred and fifty collective and individual exhibitions; by the time of her death, in 2008, the sum had risen to at least five hundred. Was it greed to run for all the contests and to respond positively and indiscriminately to all invitations to exhibit, was it a rematch or a justification for your rebellious beginnings? She also won countless awards and distinctions. Her great talent made her shine, but her career was also illuminated by her constancy, concentration and ability to work. It was creative and meticulous; many of its beautiful and, at the same time, bleak works are found in the main museums of the country and integrate private collections from Argentina and abroad. At the National Museum of Fine Arts, her work is catalogued in the "Realism" sector of the seventies. In this text, then, some milestones of her trajectory are highlighted. They are brushstrokes that trace a possible artistic and personal history, even taking into account their fictional dimension that gave rise to allegories and substitutions superbly focused on their work. The enigma that inhabits her splendid work moves to her vital moments. The absence of certainties in relation to her biography - at the end of the day no one, but no one, knows the hidden depths of another human being - here she becomes more pressing for her fanciful recreations and the slippery data obtained in the course of this investigation. Unlike what is believed, memory is fragile and finite; precisely that memory of the unstable evidence makes her work more present and powerful.
