November 15th is World Handwriting Day. This date commemorates the birth of one of the most important American modernist painters. Today's date is also marked by significant events both nationally and internationally. A key moment for Argentina was the incorporation of the State of Buenos Aires into the Argentine Confederation on November 15, 1860, a fundamental step towards national unity following the constitutional reform of that year. This day also marks the anniversary of the signing of the National Constitution of 1853, which laid the foundations of the modern Argentine state. The history of science and culture also has its protagonists born on this day: in 1891, the famous German field marshal Erwin Rommel was born, known as the 'Desert Fox' for his leadership in North Africa during World War II. In 2017, the world mourned the tragic and premature death of American rapper and singer Lil Peep, an influential figure in the fusion of emo and hip-hop. Also on this day, figures such as Swiss chemist Alfred Werner, a Nobel Prize winner in Chemistry in 1913, and American painter Georgia O'Keeffe, whose iconic large-scale flower paintings and desert landscapes changed 20th-century art, passed away.
