Pedro Figari Biography
(b Montevideo, 29 June 1861; d Montevideo, 24 July 1938). Uruguayan painter, writer, lawyer and politician. He showed artistic inclinations from childhood but completed a degree in law in 1886; his appointment as a defence counsel for the poor brought him into contact with social issues that later informed his art. In the same year he studied briefly with the academy-trained Italian painter Godofredo Sommavilla (18501944), married and left for Europe, where he came into contact with Post-Impressionism. On his return to Uruguay he became actively involved in journalism, law and politics as well as fostering the creation of the Escuela de Bellas Artes. During the course of his life he published a number of books that reflected his broad interests in art, art education and legal matters. He was a member of the Uruguayan Parliament, president of the Ateneo of Montevideo (1901) and director of the Escuela Nacional de Artes y Oficios (1915).
