Upon returning to Argentina from Europe, where he lived from 1924 to 1930, Pettoruti communicated and advocated modern art in the local milieu. He not only produced and exhibited modern works, but also wrote articles and gave lectures in cities and provinces around the country. His 1924 exhibition at Witcomb gallery unleashed scandal; the audience and press were split between those who embraced and those who repudiated his innovative work.
