Hola, soy Pedro Figari, el artista uruguayo que pintó con manchas y colores la vida de su país: el gaucho y sus danzas, el mundo afro de los candombes y velorios, el universo del tango... Pero, sabías que empecé a pintar a los 60 años? Y sabías que antes de pintor fui abogado, periodista, educador, escritor y político? Por qué lo abandoné todo para dedicarme a la pintura? Abre el libro y presta atención que te lo cuento. Hi, I'm Pedro Figari, the Uruguayan artist who painted the life of my country--its gauchos and dances, African candomblés and visitations, and the world of tango--with stains and colors. But did you know that I began painting when I was 60 years old? And that prior to that, I was a lawyer, journalist, educator, writer, and politician? Why did I leave it all behind to become a painter? Open up this book and listen to what I have to tell you.
