Ignacio Núñez Soler was born in 1891. Núñez was the first general secretary of the Regional Workers' Center of Paraguay (CORP), an anarcho-syndicalist trade union center founded in 1916. A self-taught artist, he became one of Paraguay's foremost modernist painters. Although he had no contact with the established modernist movement himself, his work developed in parallel with it. His work displayed a nostalgia for Asunción's past, depicting political events or popular celebrations that had changed the city's urban identity. Unlike other modernists, he sought out short-cuts to achieve his desired outcomes and mixed together avant-garde styles with popular culture. His work unintentionally echoed themes from primitivism, including the works of Henri Rousseau. It also displayed his own version of naïve art. He died in 1983. His work is exhibited in the Museo del Barro, in Asunción. In 2002, his work was the subject of a study by Roberto Amigo for the book Guerra, anarquía y goce.
