Alceu Ribeiro

Alceu Ribeiro was born at the departmen of Artigas, Uruguay, in 1919.
 
In 1939 he moves to Montevideo with a grant and begins his studies at the Taller of Joaquín Torres-García until 1949, taking part in all its exhibitions. Afterwards, he would open his own workshop, El Molino, with a great cultural activity: teaching, concerts, conferences, cinema…Intellectuals from Montevideo gather around it and also exiles like the actress Margarita Xirgu or José Bergamín.
 
Alceu Ribeiro begins teaching drawing and painting at Del Trabajo University in Montevideo in 1962 and the next year he travels throughout South America. Collaborating with the Museum of Fine Arts of Uruguay, he travels all over Europe for a year.
In 1973 he visits Mallorca for the first time and, in 1974, he takes over his brother Edgardo workshop in Mallorca, but it will be in 1979 when he finally settles on the island, travelling frequently to Uruguay.
 
In 1998 Alceu Ribeiro joins Dalmau art gallery of Barcelona and would remain one of its artists until his death.
 
Since the year 2000 the recognitions on his figure begin with the installation of a sculpture in Artigas, his hometown, another one in Mallorca and his appointment as illustrious citizen of Montevideo or his major retrospective, organized by Palma de Mallorca’s city council, at the Solleric Palace,
 
In 2013 Alceu Ribeiro dies in Mallorca.
In 2019 on the centenary of his birth, an homage dedicated to him is organized at the St.Bois Hospital, where a mural done by him 1944 alongside Joaquin Torres-Garcia and other members of his workshop. Among the speakers is Enrique Aguerre, director of the Museo Nacional de Artes Visuales.
