Summary

This book presents, through exhaustive research and analysis, the most complete book on the works and history of the MPBA Franklin Rawson (Museo Provincial de Bellas Artes Franklin Rawson), located in San Juan. With academic texts of people from San Juan and national theoreticians, this collection goes back to the birth of the museum in 1936 and shows its continued growth today. The Museum was founded in 1936 and moved to the present building designed by local architects Carlos Gómez Centurión and Gustavo Suarez (Gómez Centurión-Suárez & Asociados Arquitectos), which was inaugurated in 2011. The museum received the name of Franklin Rawson in honor of the famous artist Benjamin Franklin Rawson (b. San Juan, Argentina, 1819 - d. Buenos Aires, 1871), one of the most outstanding painters of Argentina during the 19th century that belonged to the first generation of Argentinean painters known as ""Los Precursores" (The precursors)
