A text by a contemporary Argentine critic on Antonio Berni's Ramona

Mientras que la elección berniana para la serie de Ramona se basaba en su uso de materiales masivos y contemporáneos, su imagen, nuevamente, miraba a la tradición desde el anclaje iconográfico: Berni reactualizaba un polo de “fuerza de gravedad iconográfica” para la gráfica argentina, la imagen de la prostituta. Distintos grabadores ya habían recurrido a este tema de encuadre para dar cuenta de sus lecturas de crítica social:

Maybe just "central theme". What it means is that many Argentine printmakers had used the prostitute theme, but the term seems more specific than that...

Tick-tock… You could probably also use archetype/iconic figure, as that's what I think it means.

Example sentence(s):
  • Thai prostitutes are very far from the opposing stereotypes of victim and independent woman,,,
  • the stereotype of the alcoholic as a down-and-out vagrant
