This is a remarkably early modernist association for the young de Torre (1900–1971), who would go on to be a member of the Spanish avant-garde “Generation of ‘27”, alongside the likes of Luis Buñuel, Federico García Lorca, and Salvador Dalí. He married the artist Nora Borges, the sister of the Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges, in 1928, and eventually settled in Argentina, where he headed the department of literature at the University of Buenos Aires and co-founded the publishing house Losada.
