"This exhibition to carry out with approval of somebody who was in his time one of the greatest authorities, it's devote with the best remember to the Torres García's School and his honorable representatives; so much the directors body as well as who where involved at the teaching. I don't quote his names, they knows, isn't necessary. I only want to quote his creator. His lesson was the greater gravitation at the true art value concepts in all valid terms, in all his representation, written and advice by his large and generous teaching, he tolds every day: “That all born out of the pure and clear spirit, respect the wise Nature laws in each thing who surrounding us; the divine proportion written it's the gold rule".

Prólogo realizado por Florentino Delgado para una de sus más importantes exposiciones realizada en Galería de Arte Portón de San Pedro.
Esta muestra que llevo a cabo con la aprobación de alguien que ha sido en su tiempo una de las mayores autoridades, va dedicada con el mejor recuerdo al Taller Torres García y a sus dignos representantes; tanto en el cuerpo de directores como a los que intervinieron en la enseñanza.
No voy a citar sus nombres, ellos ya lo saben, no es necesario. Voy a citar a su creador. Su lección fue de la mayor gravitación en el verdadero concepto de los valores de la plástica en todos sus términos valederos, en toda su representación, pues escrito y aconsejado por su amplia y generosa enseñanza, lo decía a diario: “Que todo nazca del espíritu puro y limpio, respetar las leyes que la sabia Naturaleza nos muestra en cada cosa que nos rodea; la divina proporción escrita es la regla de oro”. Como ejemplo para la pintura: forma, relación de colores, sus valores y trabajar con amor, que el tiempo dirá lo demás.
