FILETEADO PORTEÑO
ARTE POPULAR DE BUENOS AIRES
 

Su origen fue a principio del siglo XX en las fábricas de carros (de verduleros , lecheros, etc).
La utilización del filete fue decorativa, sus diseños llenos de ornato, hojas de acanto, flores, pájaros, dragones, caballos y frases son reflejos de una filosofía ciudadana (EJ: "Feliz de Adán que no tuvo  suegra")

El fileteado porteño tiene una relación directa con el tango ya que ambas culturas han nacido juntas.
Era un Arte viviente , lo viejo se repintaba o se tiraba, por eso aparecían nuevas imágenes.
Los trabajos de fileteado eran realizados dentro de las carrocerías (ERDOCIA-CARASSAI-LA VENETA)
donde se decía que lo importante del fileteador era dar unidad al carruaje.
Salvador Venturo, Cecilio Pascarella y Vicente Brunetti, fueron los pioneros en este arte. Los más destacados: Carlos Carboni, León Untroib y los hermanos Arce.
Pasado el tiempo se prohibe en Buenos Aires la tracción a sangre y desaparecen los carros, para luego pasar este arte al camión y al colectivo.
De a poco va disminuyendo el trabajo para los fileteadores.
En la actualidad este arte es usado también en forma decorativa pero más generalizado (carteles, muebles, negocios, publicidad, etc ).
En la nueva generación de fileteadores se realizan trabajos sobre bastidores entelados para exposiciones artísticas, utilizando materiales como el acrílico, diferentes a los originales que eran a base de aceites. (oleo, esmalte sintético).

BUENOS AIRES FILETEADO
POPULAR ART OF BUENOS AIRES

The origins of "fileteado" date back to the early 20 th century in the horse carriage
manufacturing industry
The fileteado work was carried out in the numerous carriage manufacturers
around Buenos Aires. A key principle was the ability of the artist to give
a fluid, continuous structure to his work and therefore conserve the
"unified look" of the carriage.
As time passed and technology advanced, horse carriage transport was
prohibited in Buenos Aires and the carriage disappeared. Thus, this art was
transferred to motorized vehicles (primarily buses and trucks).
The use of the filete was decorative, its designs full of ornament,
acantthus leaves, flowers and birds. Dragons, horses and philosophical sayings
(ie happiness for Adam was the absence of a mother-in-law).
The Buenos Aires art of fileteado has a direct relationship with the art of
tango since both were born together and developed side by side. The filete
was and still is a living art. In the past, many old objects of art were
not conserved or restored but either thrown away or painted over. Thus, new
forms and images were created using filete art. These became more elaborate
with time Salvador Venturo, Cecilio Pascarella and Vicente Brunetti were all pioneers
in this art. The most outstanding artists in recent times were Carlos
Carboni, León Untroib and the siblings Bernasconi. However with a finite number of transport vehicules, little by little, work for filete artists diminished.
At the present time, filete art is also used in ornamental work but is more
widespread in the form of posters, furniture and business advertising.
The new generation of "fileteadores" is creating a variety of exhibitions
using materials such as metal, glass and canvas with acrylic paints,
different from the original oil-based paints (I suggest enamel synthetic
paint). The filete continues to be the tradictional art form which represent Buenos Aires.
