Otra Figuración	Argentine movement founded by Jorge de la Vega, Ernesto Deira, Rómulo Macció, and Luis Felipe Noé in 1961. The four artsist shared a studio, exhibited together, and in 1961 traveled as a group to Paris to see the work by Jean Debuffet and the CoBrA group. Otra Figuración was instrumental in the regeneration of Argentine figurative painting, and when they exhibited together at the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in 1963 they garnered international recognition, but disbanded in 1964.
