His family moved to Buenos Aires City in 1936, and there Carpani finished his high school education. He then started to study law, but soon abandoned it, and at the age of 20 he travelled to Paris, France, where he became first a model for artists and then an artist himself. He returned to Buenos Aires in 1952 and studied a year with master Emilio Pettorutti. His first art exhibition took place in 1957. Together with other artists, he founded the "Espartaco" movement. Carpani was sympathetic with social causes, and his paintings are focused on topics like the unemployed, the working people and the poor, as well as nationalistic themes. They are strong, solid and clear-cut, often portraiting determined men; this line of work is reflected in his illustrations of Argentina's national epic gauchesque poem, "Martín Fierro". In the 1970s Carpani, like many other Argentine artists, writers and intellectuals during the Proceso de Reorganización Nacional, exiled himself and settled in Madrid, Spain, and then toured Europe, the United States, Cuba, Mexico and Ecuador. Along with others in the Argentine Commission in Defense of Human Rights, he denounced the crimes of the dictatorship for the outside world to know. A year after the restoration of democracy in Argentina, in 1984, Carpani returned to his home country, and he produced a series of portraits (such as those of Julio Cortázar and Roberto Arlt). He also started a series of works focused on classic Buenos Aires urban topics (such as tango, cafés and the barrios), with tropical backgrounds. Not long before his death, Carpani drew a large portrait of Che Guevara which is now shown at the Plaza de la Cooperación in Rosario, a few blocks away from Guevara's birthplace. Carpani died in Buenos Aires in 1997. Ricardo Carpani studied with Botero and at the Universidad de Buenos Aires, moving to Paris in 1950, where he studied painting at the Academie de la Grande Chaumière and later apprenticed at the atelier of the famed argentine painter Emillo Pettoruti. In 1950, he exhibited at the Sociedad Estimulo de Bellas Artes, where his paintings caused a sensation and evoked comparison to Rivera and Orozco. Carpani was founder of the latin americain art movement Espartaco. He has exhibited at the Museo de Arte Moderno de Rio de Janeiro, the Palazzo delle Esponsizoni de Roma, the D'Arcy Gallery of New York, the Bienale de Menton (France) and the Musée de l'Art Moderne in Paris. His paintings are in the permanent collections of museums in Buenos Aires, Menton, Barcelona, Punta del Este, Uruguay, Syracuse and New Mexico. As a note book illustrator, his works include Martin Fierro by José Hernandez and Carlos Gardel with text by David Vinas. His first works for the stage are the Broadway and touring sets of Tango Pasión which were largely inspired by his last collection of drawings.
