La Sociedad Rural Argentina (SRA) es una asociación civil patronal fundada en 1866 que agrupa principalmente a grandes propietarios de tierras en la región pampeana, dedicadas a la agricultura y la ganaderÃa en Argentina.
La Exposición Rural (in English: The Rural Exhibition), is an annual agricultural and livestock show held in the Palermo section of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The event is organised by La Sociedad Rural Argentina (in English: The Argentine Rural Society) and both the Exhibition and the Society are known locally as La Rural. The exhibition has taken place in the society's Santa Fe Avenue exhibition centre and fairground, each year in July since 1886. Primarily a farming show, breeders arrive from all over the country to exhibit their livestock, particularly cattle. It became a major feature of the porteño social scene in prosperous Argentina, taking place in Buenos Aires' most exclusive neighbourhood and accompanied by balls and other events. However, with the onset of the country's economic crisis towards the end of the 20th century, the event lost some of its vitality, although it is still popular with visitors. In 2005, 715,000 people visited the exhibition, which had almost 400 stands and 4,000 animals. The Society was founded on 10 July 1866 by Eduardo Olivera and José MartÃnez de Hoz with the motto 'To cultivate the soil is to serve the country', and was formally known as 'El Solar de Palermo'. Built in the 1870s, the Society's showground features a Belle Epoque stadium and a modern exhibition hall. During the rest of the year, the exhibition hall is used for other events including trade shows. The Opera Pampa organises shows in the stadium, showcasing the history of Argentina with zamba dances and an asado in the dining rooms. With over 10,000 members, the Society has branch offices in many parts of the country.
Jorge MarÃa Lubary is considered to be one of the greatest in this specialty in the early third of this century in Argentina; in spite of which little has been written on this figure. Born in 1862, a series of masterful portraits (especially those of Justo José de Urquiza, Carlos Pellegrini, Manuel Quintana, Anatole France y Sara Bernhardt) gave evidence of his talent.
Jorge M. Lubary was a multiple man that achieved the degree of lawyer and acted in politics; as an artist, he also was a sculptor and a monograms and stamps designer.
In political functions, he occupied a seat as a deputy in Santa Fe province, where he was also bound to agrarian activities. His vocation for aesthetics was put in evidence not only in the medals field, but in several artistic productions such as for example "La maravilla" and "El labrador", design made for the issue of stamps which were sent to print at the "South American Company of Banknotes". In his themes, he preferred to reflect human figures more than allegories.
