Lux Lindner’s colored-pencil drawings Our Man in Freiburg/Carlos Astrada 1928 and Overlays in the Race for the Contradiction’s Stuffing (Astrada in Beijing ca. 1957) are inspired by Carlos Astrada, an Argentine philosopher who revived the myth of the gaucho—the South American cowboy—with his seminal work El Mito Gaucho. In Lindner’s drawings, the gaucho embodies resilience, intelligence, cosmic loneliness, and a mistrust of authority. Lindner describes his drawings as an attempt to create a counter-narrative to the dominant canon of Argentine history, reinterpreting well-known historical narratives with wit and humor. In the first drawing, Lindner depicts what Astrada called the “Freiburg episode of 1928,” a duel between Astrada and a student fraternity member (“Burschenschafter”). The second drawing depicts empanadas, flour dough filled with minced meat, combined with aircraft designs based on drawings made by Lindner’s father. The tube-like forms in Lindner’s drawings are rays of theosophic-loaded energy, which expand the width of the mind’s movement and are at times injected with political slogans.
