In Argentina, towards the end of the 1920s and in the first years of the following, outbreaks of a left oppositionism emerged in the communist camp, not only in the ranks of the "official" CommunistParty, but also within its different dissent. These sectors, which identified with the International Left Opposition, led by the Russian revolutionary Leon Trotsky, formed a particular stage of transition, before recognizing themselves in the assumed identity of Trotskyism, after 1933. What were the propaganda axes? of this Argentine oppositionism? What trajectories and profiles did your paintings express? How were the links with the outside and what comparison can be drawn with other countries? Why did fragmentation and the difficulty to consolidate itself as a movement continue after its precocious appearance and how did the characteristics of the communist camp affect itself? These and other questions are explored in this article.
