Torres García. Construction and Abstraction


Joaquín Torres García’s time in Barcelona was crucial to his artistic career, because it was there that he came into contact with Catalan Noucentisme and the first signs of the Spanish avant-garde. But moving to Paris and encountering neoplasticism was what defined the direction his work took from that moment on, in what he called Constructive Art. On his return to Uruguay, this would become the leading style through the "Torres García workshop".
