In 'Fine Arts', Antonio Dumas (played by Argentine actor Oscar Martinez), is a renowned art historian and cultural manager, cultured and sophisticated, although quite cynical and conceited, appointed director of the Ibero-American Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid. Andrés Duprat, one of the creators of the series, which can already be seen since April 11, has acknowledged that the character “can arouse certain rejection” due to his sarcasm and that, from the first episode, “he laughs at politically correct impositions They're a little stupid.”
The six-episode series, which is on Star+, has been described as a stark reflection of society that will allow us to reflect on the problems and contradictions of today's world. Dumas must deal with the unique characters of the art world, while facing the most diverse circumstances and conflicts, including union problems, political pressures and crazy situations in relation to exhibitions and artists.
What did the critics say?
In Argentina, since its announcement, expectations have been growing. The influential newspaper Clarín has described it as follows: “An interesting portrait, full of black humor and ironies, that demolishes the mural of cultural solemnity. Impeccable work by Oscar Martínez in the composition of this superb and renowned cultural manager, who He has not been able to perform key subjects in his personal life. He has a son who gives him bills, a grandson whom he sees little, an old love from the other side of the world, a cat named Borges and few fleas. And an electric skateboard that he rides for Madrid”.
For his part, Duprat has mentioned that the series also serves to reflect on what art is. “It speaks about that reality of contemporary society which is going to see museums and works that many times one does not understand why they are there. People go to museums and do not dare to say that they do not like something or that they find it absurd. “, it states.
