 One of the most overt criticisms made by the Madí movement criticized cultural authorities in the "Arte Madí Universal" magazine"," commenting "[t]he last submission to the Venice Biennial has signified for Argentina a blunt negation of the new [artistic] values.We invite competent authorities to stop and compare the true current of contemporary plastic arts with the submissions that today put us [our country] half a century behind", which vaguely attack the aesthetic choices of certain cultural officers under Perón.According to Pérez-Barreiro, Madí and Concrete art (referring to the Asociación Arte Concreto-Invención (AACI)) are the artistic parallel(s) of the political phenomenon of Peronism.
