Augusto Torres (1913–1992) at Sala Parés, Barcelona — 21 Nov 2026–16 Jan 2027
Sala Parés, founded in 1877 and one of Europe’s oldest galleries, presents a retrospective of Augusto Torres (Terrassa, 1913 – Barcelona, 1992), the painter and muralist who carried the Constructive Universalism of his father, Joaquín Torres-García, from Paris to Montevideo and back. According to the gallery’s announcement on the GRAF agenda, the exhibition traces every stage of his career and his personal blend of Constructivism and metaphysical figuration, and includes many works that have never been exhibited. The story runs from his youth in the Paris avant-garde — where he met Van Doesburg, Calder, Arp and Mondrian, catalogued Inca and Nazca ceramics for the Musée du Trocadéro at just fifteen, and worked with Juli González — through his study of Velázquez, Goya and El Greco in Madrid, to his decisive years in Montevideo with the Asociación de Arte Constructivo and the Taller Torres-García, which he led after his father’s death in 1949. From 1973 he divided his life between Barcelona and Montevideo.
