Joaquín Torres García

Joaquín Torres-García was a Uruguayan-Spanish artist.

His art is associated with archaic universal culture, including Mediterranean cultural traditions, Noucentisme, and modern classicism. Torres-García developed a unique style (first known as "Art Constructif") during the 1930s, while he lived in Paris. Arte Constructivo (Constructive Art), a school he opened in Madrid, became Universalismo Constructivo (Universal Constructivism, a treatise he published in South America while teaching in his workshops Asociación de Arte Constructivo and El Taller Torres-García). Torres-García's art combines classical and archaic traditions with 20th-century "-isms": Cubism, Dada, neo-plasticism, primitivism, surrealism, and abstraction.
