In Barcelona, Torres-Garcia befriended both Pablo Picasso and Antoni Gaudí. The artist traveled to New York in 1920 but settled in Paris during much of the decade, where he exchanged ideas with Piet Mondrian. In 1934, he returned to Uruguay and introduced a number of formative ideas to young artists in the country.

Was Torres-Garca an adherent of d'Ors?

Torres-García was not an adherent of D'Ors, however; his evolution was apparent in two texts published before the development of noucentisme around 1910: "Augusta et Augusta" (1904) and "La nostra ordinacio I el nostre cami" (1907).

Why did José Torres-Garca collaborate with Antoni Gaud?

The flourishing artistic milieu that distinguished Barcelona and its peculiar Modernism led Torres-García to collaborate with Antoni Gaudí in the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca and in the Sagrada Familia for the execution of a series of stained glasses (1903-1904).
