This is a rather nice example of fileteado, a painting style unique to Argentina, on Defensa St. It can be seen on all kinds of storefronts and signs and advertisments. I think it was started by bus drivers early in the century, who would paint designs and witty (sometimes dirty) sayings on the backs of their buses, for decoration. And from that, we have the now quintessential Argentine style.
