About Taller Torres Garcia:

Once the TTG was formed, the master received his first commission for a collective mural: the memorable and controversial project of the Martirené Pavilion of the Saint-Bois Hospital, painted in 1944, which paradoxically, was the only one that was executed due to his intervention. However, beginning in the 1950s, his disciples produced an extensive body of mural, generally associated with the work of architects close to his environment like Ernesto Leborgne, Juan Ramón Menchaca, Román Fresnedo Siri, Florio Parpagnoli, Luis San Vicente, Juan Scasso,  Sara Morialdo, and Carlos A. Surraco. Certainly, the muralist production —for which different techniques and materials has to be used— required time for the disciples to mature in their learning, which is why the projects were destined to find better conditions for their implementation no earlier than the 1950s, when Torres was no longer in a position to work on them.  Prominent among the jewelry crafts were the silver jewelry pieces made by Olga Piria, and Augusto and Horacio Torres, Arquivaldo Almada, Gastón Olalde, Carlos Llanos, Huidobro Almada, Jorge and Rodolfo Visca founded the Taller Sótano Sur in 1956. The group also organized workshops to teach ceramics, wood carving, and stone and metal work, especially copper - enameling.
