of his paintings were being edited under his supervision.
Before long, under the same sponsorship, he organized an

Sanguinetti, who wrote the essay included in the catalog
of Germany.

In 1979 Raúl Lozza moved to his last house and workshop at 2070 Fragata Sarmiento Street, in La Paternal, where he died at the age of 96, on January 27th, 2008 at 7 o’clock in the evening. His demise was not the result of any physical illness, but he was in a state of deep depression due
|
to his inability to move about or carry out any activity without resorting to another
person. Apart from this, he no longer had the physical strength to continue creating and engaging himself in debates with young
generations. Elida Belizán, Antonia’s daughter, took care of him until the very
end. Two days before his death, he had lost his desire to talk and refused to
eat. By the time the doctor arrived, Raúl Lozza had already
died.

In his youth he was a lyrical singer, a plastic artist, studied music, became an exceptional wood craftsman and manufactured Spanish guitars using very few and rudimentary manual tools. Finally, he devoted himself to writing. He did the first translation into Spanish of Miguel Angel Buonnaroti’s poems, which earned him a medal awarded to him by the Government of Italy. He wrote several novels, essays and biographies, among them, those of Charles Chaplin and Almafuerte. He was awarded with the Faja de Honor of the Argentine Society of Writers on two occasions. The majority of the books from his last period were published by himself through totally handmade mechanisms. First he wrote the pages one by one with a rudimentary portable typewriter. Then he would glue the edges of the pages, press them and finally bound them between two covers. Thus, book after book, with absolute relish, he caused a huge collection of his
works to grow little by little, which until that moment, only he could enjoy.
Rembrandt Van Dick Lozza, the youngest of the three brothers, has been a bohemian intellectual of vast knowledge and Marxist educational background. He would start his morning
