Oscar Conti (Oski) was one of the most important Argentine cartoonists of the 20th Century. Born in 1914, deceased in 1979, his career spanned the most fertile years of the Argentinian comics industry. He was a cartoonist of an enormous popularity and prestige, profuse production, a frequently cited example of the artistic possibilities of the medium, as well as a political cartoonist. He published in Argentina, and also in Chile, Cuba, France, Germany, Italy, México, Perú, Spain and Venezuela. Oski was a multifaceted artist: a cartoonist, illustrator, traveler and intellectual able to bridge the gap between art history and comics history, 20th Century politics and labor in the culture industry.
