Torres-García

Joaquín Torres-García’s artistic odyssey was marked by a relentless pursuit of universal visual languages that transcended cultural boundaries. He spent significant years in Europe, immersing himself in influences from a spectrum of artistic movements, including Cubism and Constructivism. His return to Uruguay in 1934 marked a pivotal juncture in his career. Torres-García’s “Universal Constructivism,” distinguished by his utilization of grids, geometric forms, and symbolic imagery, sought to forge connections between art, culture, and education.
