Museo Xul Solar

On Tuesday I went to the museum of a 20th century Argentine artist, Xul Solar. We studied him in my art hist class so a few friends and I decided to check out his former home which now holds his works.


Solar was really interested in language and culture and invented a language, Neo Criollo, which unifies all the Latin American countries - a mix between Portugese and Spanish. You can see his interest in symbols/language(all the components of the face are made of symbol-like figures) in this painting, which I really like!


He made this piano, linking different keys to colors 




View of his patio - his house which he designed (studied architecture) is really maze-like.
