Abstract

This essay aims to analyze the trajectory of the artist Joaquín Torres- García (1874-1949), his narratives, memoirs and paintings made between the Old and New World. The narratives are focused from the books Historia de mi vida (1939) and La ciudad sin nombre (1941) and the works executed by him during the trip and upon arrival in Montevideo. The essay presents a reflection on the displacements, the artistic and personal experiences and intentions of his books.
