His older sister, Carmen, was a pianist and composer. His younger brother, Antonio, was a poet who wrote under the name Antonio de Ignacios\u00a0[es]. He absorbed an interest in art from his father at an early age and was almost entirely self-taught. Magazine illustrations constituted his first professional work and, in 1912, he had his first exhibition, together with Guillermo Laborde.[1]       (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});after-content-x4In 1913, he was invited to travel to Europe with a friend who had won a government grant to study singing at La Scala in Milan. While there, he came into contact with the Futurist movement and spent some time in Paris, where he was exposed to the latest trends in art. As a result, he developed his own variation on Cubism, which he called “Vibrationism”.[2] The following year, he went to Barcelona, where he associated with a group of young Catalan poets led by Joan Salvat-Papasseit.  Portrait of his wife, Pilar. (1919)He stayed only a short time, then started for Madrid on foot, but got only as far as Arag\u00f3n, where he was overcome by fatigue and hunger and taken in by a peasant couple. In 1915, he married their daughter Pilar in Zaragoza. Later that year, he held his first solo exhibition there.The following year, he returned to Barcelona with his new wife and reunited with his mother, who had moved back to Spain to be with them. While there, he became acquainted with his fellow Uruguayan painter, Joaqu\u00edn Torres Garc\u00eda,[3] who had been living in Spain since 1891. Torres was apparently impressed by Barradas’ Vibrationism and incorporated some of its elements into his own “Constructive Universalism”.Career in Madrid[edit]  Galeries Dalmau, during an exhibition of Rafael Barradas, Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia, Barcelona, 1925\u20131926In 1919, he finally went to Madrid and opened a studio near the Atocha, where he was a frequent member of the gatherings by Spanish writers, poets and artists at the local caf\u00e9s. Among those he befriended there was Gregorio Mart\u00ednez Sierra, who commissioned him to design costumes and scenery at the Teatro Eslava\u00a0[es]. He also provided illustrations for books published by Mart\u00ednez Sierra’s Biblioteca Estrella,[4] including the works of Ram\u00f3n G\u00f3mez de la Serna, and was a collaborator at several art and literary magazines including Alfar, published by the Uruguayan poet Julio J. Casal.[1]In 1925 and 1926, he participated in several exhibitions and spent some time in Saint-Jean-de-Luz, doing watercolors of the port and its inhabitants.[4]After his return, he and Mart\u00ednez Sierra abruptly parted company and he moved to L’Hospitalet de Llobregat,[4] where he created a series of religious works he called “Los M\u00edsticos”, followed by a series called “Estampones Montevideanos”, inspired by the port and the  Barrio Sur in his hometown. He expected this to be his final work as his health was rapidly deteriorating. His final project in Spain was helping to organize the first (and only) exhibition of drawings by Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca.He returned to Uruguay in 1928, terminally ill, and died a few months later,[1] leaving most of his works to his family. They were kept on display at his home until 1969, when they were donated to the “Ministerio de Educaci\u00f3n y Cultura de Uruguay\u00a0[es]“, with the aim of creating a “Museo Barradas”. Today, the collection may be seen at the Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales in Montevideo.Selected paintings[edit]References[edit]Further reading[edit]Raquel Pereda, Barradas, Galer\u00eda Latina, 1989 LCCN 9483-4687Antonio de Ignacios, Historial Rafael Barradas, Imprensa Letras 1953Pilar Garc\u00eda-Sedas, Joaqu\u00edm Torres-Garcia i Rafael Barradas: un di\u00e0leg escrit, 1918-1928,[1]  L\u2019Abadia de Montserrat, 1994 ISBN\u00a084-7826-531-7Manuel Garc\u00eda Guatas, Barradas: Ars Longa Vita Brevis, Artigrama, Department of Art History, University of Zaragoza, ISSN 0213-1498 onlineExternal links[edit]“Art\u00edculo sobre Rafael Barradas” by G.
