Julio Payró began his career as a painter, studying with the Uruguayan artist Joaquín Torres-García in Paris and Barcelona
(1907), then with William de Gouve in Brussels from 1912 to 1918, after which he returned to Buenos Aires. In 1928 he decided
to work solely as an art critic, building a reputation as a major analyst of 20th century art movements in Argentina and Latin
America.
