Resumen
En esta contribución presentamos el perfil artístico del renombrado paleontólogo argentino Carlos Rusconi, quien ha realizado numerosas reconstrucciones de animales extintos así como dibujos científicos a lo largo de su carrera. En particular, su publicación “La Vida Animal en el Terciario Superior de Buenos Aires” (1933) y su libro “Animales Extinguidos de Mendoza y de la Argentina” (1967), con dibujos de Paul Magne de la Croix, representan íconos de la divulgación paleontológica argentina. Por otro lado, presentamos datos biográficos hasta ahora desconocidos sobre el artista Francés Paul Magne de la Croix, así como sus aportes a la historia natural. Magne de la Croix fue un personaje multifacético, casi olvidado, que poco se conoce sobre su vida personal, mientras que sus obras están diseminadas en numerosas contribuciones de distintas índoles. Los trabajos de ambos personajes fueron la base para la divulgación de la paleontología sudamericana y su arte ha aparecido repetidamente en libros, publicaciones científicas y artículos en revistas periódicas para una amplia audiencia durante gran parte del siglo XX.
In this contribution, we present the artistic profile of the renowned Argentine paleontologist Carlos Rusconi, who made several artistic reconstructions of the extinct creatures as well as scientific drawings of the specimens throughout his career. In particular, his article “Animal Life in the Upper Tertiary of Buenos Aires” (1933) and his book “Extinct Animals of Mendoza and Argentina” (1967), which include several drawings by Paul Magne de la Croix, are icons of the science popularization of the paleontology in Argentina. In addition, we compile here the biographical data about the French artist Paul Magne de la Croix, as well as references to his contributions into the natural history. Magne de la Croix was a multifaceted person, who little is known about his personal life, while his immense work is disseminated in several contributions of different natures. In our understanding, the work of these two figures is the basis for the science popularization in South America and their art repeatedly occurs in books, scientific papers, and periodical articles for a broader audience during much of the twentieth century.
