Abstract (en)
Study of the filete porteño, the tradition of painting flowers, arabesques, and other bright decorations on horsecarts, trucks, and buses in Buenos Aires; notes that its origins have been traced to Vicente Brunetti and Cecilio Pascarella, Italians who came to Argentina in the late 19th c. and worked in a horsecart factory. Mentions that despite a successful exhibition in 1970, which helped elevate it to a legitimate art form, the filete is in decline, due to economic factors and a ban on the decoration of city buses.
