Artist’s Biography
1921
Pablo Mañé Garzón was born on January 21 in Montevideo, in a family of Catalan origin from El Vendrell.
1933
His family moves to Paris where his father has been named ambassador. He continues his studies in France, a language he will come to master as a second native tongue.
1936
He begins to develop an interest in painting. He enrolls in the studio of the Cubist painter André Lhote, from whom he will become the most devoted pupil.
1939
He returns to Uruguay. His artistic restlessness leads him to experiment in various fields. He travels through South America. He combines journalism with guitar and tango.
1956-1969
He collaborates in the weekly “Marcha” as a music and visual arts critic. At the same time, he works as a writer in the arts section of the newspaper “El País.” His articles are followed with great interest by the Rioplatense cultural elite. He is a sought-after figure who maintains a feverish activity: he gives courses and lectures, holds public cultural promotion positions, and exhibits in Montevideo, Buenos Aires, and Sao Paulo.
1960
He earns a Doctorate in Law and Social Sciences from the University of the Eastern Republic of Uruguay.
1963
He marries and his son Pau is born.
1965
He suffers his first artistic crisis. He abandons cubism. He becomes interested in a painting more politically and socially engaged: “I seek an art founded on truth, in what is mysterious and contradictory in all of us.”
1969 He obtains the Painting Prize at the XXXIII National Salon of Plastic Arts. Nevertheless, his spirit surges with longing and dissatisfaction, and in the same year he leaves his country and relocates to Spain in search of new horizons. He lives in Madrid and Barcelona.
1972
He exhibits for the first time in Spain at Gaudí Hall in Barcelona.
1973
He settles in Mataró. He founds a art academy. He teaches painting and drawing and, above all, tries to convey his peculiar way of seeing, understanding, and living art. Later, his pupils will form a school that becomes known as “El Grup de la Plaça Gran.” It is a period of emotional crisis reflected in his painting: sad and harsh. He endures economic hardship.
1974-1980
By commission of Barcelonian publishers, he translates into English and French classic and romantic poets: Shakespeare, Shelley, Wordsworth, Keats, Yeats, Whitman, Blake, Mallarmé, and Valéry. The Rio Nuevo publishing house publishes his translations in bilingual editions. He collaborates in the culture section of the newspapers “El Noticiero Universal” and “El Diario de Barcelona.”
1975
He finds emotional stability in his former pupil Tere González Solá, whom he will marry in 1982. He undertakes new challenges with renewed energy. It is a hopeful era, of prolific production. He exhibits at the Museu Municipal de Mataró and at the Caixa Laietana Exhibition Hall.
1979
He moves to Barcelona. He feels he has reached full artistic maturity, and his work reflects it. Technique and aesthetics become his priorities: “I pursue a painting that captures the fleeting nature of time and arouses in those who view it a sense of illusory happiness.”
1980-1990
A dense period of exhibitions: Madrid, Seville, Bilbao, Valladolid, Mallorca, among other cities, with annual appearances in Barcelona. He participates in the Artexpo (Barcelona) and Arco (Madrid).
1991
He is chosen to be part of the exhibition-auction held in New York at the Soroka Medical Center.
1992
He exhibits at the Phillips Gallery in New York.
1993-2004
He travels through Europe and the Americas. He receives commissions from dealers in the United States and Japan. His work becomes part of the Estrada Museum of Barcelona, the Montevideo Art Museum, the Sao Paulo Museum of Modern Art, the Toledo Museum of Art (Ohio, U.S.A.), and the collections of the Banco de España and Banc Sabadell. His last exhibition takes place at the Rusiñol Hall in Sant Cugat in March 2004.
He continued working up to his death in his home in Barcelona on December 20, 2004."
