Claudio Girola

Claudio Mario Girola Iommi (1923, Rosario – October 1994, Viña del Mar) was an Argentine-Chilean visual artist, poet, and professor, known for his avant-garde sculptures, many of which are on display in Argentina and Chile. He is considered one of the driving forces behind the revival of Latin American visual art in the latter half of the 20th century.

He is also known for being a signatory of the ''Manifiesto de Cuatro Jóvenes'' ''(Manifesto of Four Young Artists'') in 1942 which protested the annual National Art Exhibition of Buenos Aires (''Salón Nacional de Buenos Aires'') competition and its effects on art education in Argentina, as well as Argentine art education as a whole.
