“Constructive Composition” by Joaquin Torres Garcia, created in 1943, belongs to the Abstract Art movement and is classified within the abstract genre.
The artwork is a complex and vibrant composition characterized by an intricate arrangement of geometric shapes and lines, forming a grid-like pattern. Predominantly in shades of red, yellow, and brown, the piece contains numerous symbols and letters, including the date “28 Julio 1943” and the word “Montevideo,” revealing both a temporal and locative context. The balanced yet dynamic structure of the artwork reflects the principles of Constructivism, emphasizing an ordered arrangement of forms and a harmonizing color palette. The juxtaposition of various shapes and symbols invites the viewer to explore the underlying structure and meaning within the abstract framework.
