Grupo Boedo

Grupo Boedo was an association of artists, mostly painters and writers from Argentina and Uruguay .

This association emerged in the 1920s and united the various politically mostly left-wing artists. It was named after the Argentine politician Mariano Boedo , who in turn gave its name to the “ Boedo ” district of Buenos Aires , where this group was constituted and lived.

Antonio Zamora founded the publishing house Editorial Claridad SA , which still existed in 2010 , which was initially only intended for the publications of his own group, later other works were also published there.
