At age seventeen, Torres-García’s family emigrated back to Catalunya, Spain where he began to study painting, and even worked with Gaudi on the cathedrals of Sagrada Familia and Palma de Mallorca. In 1904 he published an article in the Universitat Catalana magazine that stated art must never copy reality, revealing his idealized concept of art. In 1910 he organized the Uruguayan pavilion at the World’s Fair, and eventually returned to his native country.
