Filete Porteño — Hand-Painted Shopfront Fine Art Poster | "Argentinidad" Exhibition | Rômulo Fritscher

A filete-painted shopfront in Buenos Aires — a centuries-old Argentine folk art tradition applied to a single storefront facade with extraordinary exuberance. This photograph is part of Argentinidad, an exhibition by Brazilian artist Rômulo Fritscher.

Captured in July 2005, the image is a document of a living art form: the hand-painted decorations, the arched window, the cluttered display case — all of it speaking of a Buenos Aires that refuses to be modernized away.
