Monique Rozanes and Leopoldo Torres Aguero
Topic: Leopoldo Torres Aguero
Monique Rozanes and Leopoldo Torres Aguero shared their life and passion for Art.

Both incredibly talented artists created -each in their own way- a breakthrough in the contemporary art scene in Buenos Aires and Paris.

Their paintings and sculptures are the result of a wise and avant-garde work of color, texture and shapes inviting the spectator to feel the artpiece through means of it's senses and the impact of the wholesome art creation.

An introspection to share, emotions, times, colors, perspectives and shapes inviting the "outsider" to take part of a world of senses and emotions often reserved for those "in the matter", the technique is the mean throguh which they share their imagination and artistic impulse with us.

These are some of their works. meet the artists and enjoy!

Leopoldo Torres Aguero's works must -as always approaching a multifaceted
artist- be seen in a broad perspective taking in account his own stages, influences and periods.

By 1941, Torres Aguero comes to Buenos Aires pursuing his way as an artist, he had already exhibited his works in Cordoba, Catamarca and La Rioja.

Back then, while geometric art ruled in Galleries and Show rooms, Torres Aguero exhibited proudly his figurative art works. Without a doubt a clear influence of his early teachers Spilimbergo and Portinari.

These works were mainly done in oil and ink. As we head on into his transicional stage throughout the 50s, his first couple of years in Paris would impact on his painting as we may perceive the shift into an abstract organic trend with some surrealist insight, this would deepen into a more lyric abstraction after his Japanese experience.

From the on, his work trade mark are to be big canvases, working with acrylic and very little oil painting. The bond between this artist and his prime acrylic material would be such -clear great managing and use of all the paint potentiality- and evident in his work, as always exploring in depth the virtues of color and texture of acrylic, his lyric abstractions would sum up as essentialist and abstraction, nobility of material and of imagination, brought together through means of gifted hands.

Leopoldo Torres Aguero


Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in 1924, Leopoldo Torres Aguero is a very
influential artist whose main pieces were wordily acknowledged specially
throughout the 1990s.
When analizing Torres Aguero's artwork, specialists agree to state that
there are three different stages within his lifetime works: Figuration,
lyric abstraction and sensible geometry.
Torres Aguero had lived for a couple of years in Paris early in his artistic
life, hence his early stage. He then had returned to Buenos Aires where he
was Profesor at the Fine Arts Academy in Buenos Aires.
From 1959 to 1961 Leopoldo Torres Aguero lived in Japan; this particular
relocation is seen by many art specialists as a crucial life- experience
which impacted in his art view and oriented him to full abstraction. This
was beautifully achieved throughout his last aesthetic stage where the
beauty of color and sensitivity of lines prevail outstandingly.
When he returns to Argentina he joins the organization commission to the
four Latin America exhibitions of painting and sculpture at the Musee d`Art
moderne, Paris. Some years latter he was to become the Argentine Curator at
the Biennal in Venice where his "Le Parc" work wins the International First
Prize.
His public work would be nonstop from then on, his opening speech to "First
International Congress for the Handicapped", Unesco, Paris was very
recongnized.
When he returns to Buenos Aires with his wife, the French sculptor Monique
Rozanes his art work would be complemented with all sort of lectures and
seminars, it's at that time with "Del Escrito" published by the Freudian
School in Buenos Aires , "La Monta?a y su dibujo", Bilingual edition:
Spanish-French, Bornat, Paris are published.
Among the many awards he received throughout his during these late years he
was awarded the Palanza Prize in Buenos Aires and " Chevalier des Arts et
Lettres" medal in France", commemorative medal awarded for his mural
painting in the Santa Fe Gallery, Buenos Aires. He also organizes and
participates the International Fair in Caen, dedicated to Argentina.

He was a prolific artist, throughout his lifetime career. His works are
exhibited in many museums in Buenos Aires and throughout the world, plus in
several imponent private collections.

His abstract art work are interesting and attractive. However what took him
to the top Art Society was his close and controversial friendship with
former Argentinean president Carlos Saul Menem. This quote fantastically
expresses their relationship and how deeply tied to his art it was:

"Celebrating my first fifty years of work makes me think about Hokusai who
said he would achieve his most accomplished drawings after turning 100 years
old, ideal timing to develop a loving friendship with the heart of shapes,
where the jasmine's alchemy generates a mix of perfume and rainbow; seven
chromatic pulses that invent life.
Light, particle wave, mass- less corpuscle; its virtuality provides it with
returning velocity, before having gone.
Hence I return to La Rioja, searching my first colors, once again taking my
chances with Hope, faithfully hoping to recover an Argentina for us all.
I toast for this transcendental present."

Torres Aguero, October, 1989 -This toast was made in La Rioja Carlos Saul
Menem home town, at the time when he had won the presidential elections.
His friendship with former president Menem and his prolific artwork awarded
him a cherished public position for all artists: Argentina's Ambassador to
the UNESCO in Paris.
On December 31st 1995, Leopoldo Torres Aguero passes away in Paris.
