Summary

• Exhibition dedicated to Washington Barcala (Montevideo 1920, moved to Spain, d. Madrid 1993) in commemoration of the 100th aniversary of his birth. Barcala was contemporaneous with José Gurvich, only a few years older and both were repressants of artistic activity in Uruguay for 3 decades (1940-1960) until Barcalase moved to Spain. Despite spending an important part of his artistic career in Madrid, Barcala still remains one of the great Uruguayan artists of the 20th century. His brieg passage in the Torres Garcia workshop is still a strong influence present in his creations. The commemorative exhibition presented a selection of 39 late works produced during the last six years of the artist's life. "This production is extremely significant because with it, the artist achieved an extreme degree of formal freedom and at the same time materialized a return to the practices of painting and drawing. At the same time, this production subtly represented an early return to his native country. The artist's return was subsequently concreted, after nearly 20 years of exile in Madrid" (HKB Translation) --Page 9.
