Description: The exhibition is a tour of the 70 years of the life dedicated to the art of Julio Alpuy (Tacuarembó, Uruguay 1919-2009) through different means and expressions: painting, drawing, engraving, murals, ceramics, reliefs and sculptures presented chronologically since his first works linked to joaquín Torres-García's workshop between 1943 and 1946 where he developed a series of very personal works related to the city and its architecture. In 1944 he joined the team of young artists who painted the murals at Saint Bois Hospital. After intense TTG membership he travels to Argentina, Bolivia and Peru where he discovers American roots. When Joaquín Torres-García died in 1949 he assumed the teaching of drawing and painting in the workshop. The exhibition proposes a chronological reading of the work but also focuses on the diversity of techniques and materials used throughout a working life.
