Joaquín Torres-García was a prominent Uruguayan painter, sculptor and art theorist. Creator of Constructive Universalism, an aesthetic-philosophical system created on the basis of the principles of proportion, unity and structure. He was one of the main promoters of the intellectual life of Barcelona and a participant, along with Antonio Gaudí, in the Catalan Noucentista movement, based on a return to classicism and roots in the Mediterranean tradition.
His first paintings were influenced by the ancient Greco-Roman world, as well as Spanish and Italian Renaissance art, and later he made a leap to the use of geometry in the modernist-constructivist style. However, his beginnings were more traditional and under the influence of his many trips he managed to capture in each painting his own experiences and views that he liked, both in easel painting and in murals.
