Otra Figuración
{{Short description|Argentinian artistic movement}}
Otra Figuración was an art movement in Argentina founded by Jorge de la Vega, Ernesto Deira, Rómulo Macció, and Luis Felipe Noé in 1961. They advocated a return to figurative art when abstract and often geometric styles were prominent, and they worked in an expressive style with bold colors and sometimes mixed media.{{cite book |last1=Lucie-Smith |first1=Edward |title=Visual Arts in the 20th Century |date=1997 |publisher=Harry N.
