EspañolEUGENIA ERRáZURIZ
'Eugenia Huici de Errázuriz' (15 September, 1860 - 1954) was a Chilean patron of the arts. Her circle of friends and protégés included Pablo Picasso, Igor Stravinsky, Jean Cocteau, and the poet Blaise Cendrars.
She was born in Bolivia, Eugenia Huici, the daughter of a silver magnate, who fled civil war and moved his family to their estates near Valparaíso, where English nuns supervised Eugenia's education. At twenty, she married José Tomás Errázuriz — the son of Federico Errázuriz Echaurren and grandson of Federico Errázuriz Zañartu, both former presidents of Chile. They honeymooned in Venice where John Singer Sargent painted oil sketches of Eugenia. The couple spent the next twenty years in Paris.
Around 1900 the Errázurizes relocated to London, and then to Chelsea. Tomás fell sick with tuberculosis, spent much time in Switzerland, and the couple became estranged. Eugenia took up with her homosexual opium-taking nephew Antonio de Gandarillas, known as Tony. Tony was involved with the aspiring painter Christopher Wood; Tony and Eugenia became friends of Sergei Diaghilev and of Artur Rubinstein.
