HÉCTOR RAGNI
1897, Buenos Aires, Argentina - 1952, Montevideo, Uruguay
Ragni`s family moved to Montevideo in 1915 where Héctor continued his
art studies and activities. In 1918, Ragni sailed for Europe, living in
Barcelona and returning to Uruguay after ten years abroad. In 1934,
Ragni met Torres-García and joined the Asociación de Arte Constructivo.
Active in the artistic and cultural movements of the time and a
participant in the numerous exhibitions of the AAC and later the Taller
Torres-García, Ragni had a strong graphic sense coupled with superb
technical mastery. His line drawings are highly coveted as there are
few canvases extant.
