MANUEL PAILÓS
Born in 1918, Galicia, Spain
His family emigrated to Uruguay in 1920
and settled in Montevideo. Pailós studied at the Circulo de Bellas
Artes with Guillermo Laborde and José Cúneo and at an art exhibition in
1942, he met Torres-García and was invited to visit T-G's studio.
In 1943, he joined the Taller Torres-García and continued working and
teaching in the Taller's workshop school through the 1960's.
In 1968, he won the First Prize for Sculpture in the Salón nacional de artes
plásticas. Pailós has created many cement reliefs for private and public
spaces and his sculptures grace many of Montevideo's parks and plazas.
He has shown extensively throughout Latin America and in 1991 was
honored by the Spanish regional government of Galicia with an exhibition
in Santiago de Compostela and the commission of a granite sculpture for
the gardens of its University. Pailós lives in Montevideo.
