Historia de mi vida

by Joaquín Torres-García

"This book, originally published in Montevideo in 1939, chronicles artist's life up to his return to Uruguay in 1934. Written in third person, work is a delightful 'must read' for any artist, critic, historian, or collector of Latin American art or modern art in general. Torres-García gives a colorful account of his career, his stays in New York and Barcelona, the people he met and those who helped him, his views about life and art, and much more. Illustrated with sketches of the master himself"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
