Page "Norah Borges" Paragraph 5

In March 1921, Norah returned by boat to Buenos Aires.

As a young painter, she aligned herself with the vanguard artists of the Florida group.

Her work in Prisma reflects the ultraist ( anti-modernist ) ideas of the group, but her illustrations for magazines such as Mural, Proa and Martín Fierro, and her illustrations in the first edition of the poetry book Fervor de Buenos Aires by Jorge Luis Borges ( 1923 ) reveal the influence of the Cubism that she had begun to assimilate with her French contacts in Spain.

In 1923, the French surrealist magazine Manomètre, and, in 1924, Martín Fierro published her paintings.

In 1926, she displayed 75 works ( oils, woodcarvings, drawings, water-colorings, and tapestries ) in the Asociacion Amigos del Arte exhibition.

In 1928, she married writer and art critic Guillermo de Torre, student of the Ultraist movement and expert on Avant-Garde art and literature, whom she had met in Spain when she was 19 years old.

They had two children.
