Nueva Escuela de arte del Uruguay

1946. TORRES-GARCIA, J. Nueva Escuela de arte del Uruguay. The New Art School of Uruguay - Nouvelle ecole d'art de l'Uruguay. Painting and Constructive Art. Contribution to the Art of the Three Americas. 20 pp. text, plus 40 plates. Folio, original decorated wrappers(repaired). Montevideo: Asociacion de Arte Constructivo, 1946. This is one of the 25 hand-written books by Torres-García which were never published during his life time. Some of them, such as this, have been published in facsimile editions, and all are scarce. This, along with his other writings, was enormously important in the history of Latin American painting in the 20th-century. Spine slightly damaged, otherwise a fine copy of this important book.
