Juan Batlle Planas

Juan Batlle Planas (3 March 1911 in Pals, Girona, Spain – 8 October 1966 in Buenos Aires, Argentina) was an Argentine painter of Spanish origin belonging to the surrealist school,[1] orienting in later years to romanticism. Many of his works, while obscure, were sombre in feeling, influenced by social unrest and economic and political problems in Argentina.[2] In 1960 he was awarded the Premio Palanza de la Academia Nacional de Bellas Artes de Argentina.[3] Batlle Planas was an influence on numerous Latin American painters, including Roberto Aizenberg.[4] Fashion designer Dalila Puzzovio studied under him.
