Under the curatorship of the specialist María José Herrera, The exhibition can be seen with free admission.

The exhibition, at the same time, revolves around the "Effigy", iconic character in Hlito's production (Buenos Aires, 1923-1993), that took center stage in paintings, drawings and texts created since the decade of 1960 until his last works.

According to Andrés Duprat said, museum director, "in 1987 a retrospective exhibition of Hlito's pictorial work was organized” and added: “hoy, on the centenary of his birth, the Fine Arts dedicates a new exhibition to him, where works meet for the first time, sketches and texts conceived under the sign of the 'Effigy', “which formed one of the most original periods of his production”.

Likewise, the curator Herrera stated that this exhibition "uses the different visual instances that Hlito produced (paintings, drawings, texts) to narrate the evolution of their own mythology of fictional beings that, nevertheless, They symbolize sacred and profane beliefs of all times and cultures..

Herrera explained that "a cosmogony of humanity that is nourished by the themes and styles of the history of universal art. Symbols, archetypes, existential intuitions and premonitions bring us closer to the creative process of an artist in permanent self-analysis of his practice and with a very close ear to his unconscious”.
