The artwork, titled “Construction with Belltower,” was created by Joaquin Torres Garcia in 1932. This piece belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is characterized as an abstract genre.
“Construction with Belltower” presents a complex and structured composition, featuring a variety of geometric shapes and symbols organized into a grid-like pattern. The artwork utilizes an earthy and muted palette, with predominant shades of brown, grey, black, and white. Among the various forms and figures, the presence of an abstract belltower is discernible, along with other recognizable elements such as a clock, cross, and letters like “PLM.” The careful balance and repetition of shapes create a sense of rhythm and coherence, exemplifying the abstraction and constructionist approach typical of Torres Garcia’s style.
