“Constructivo,” created by Joaquin Torres Garcia in 1933, is an abstract artwork within the Abstract Art movement. The artwork is distinguished by its abstract genre, characterized by the use of symbolic and geometric forms.
The artwork consists of a rectangular composition divided into several segments, each containing various symbols, signs, and shapes. The upper sections incorporate a combination of numbers, abstract geometric shapes, and possibly letters or symbols, rendered in bold red, black, and yellow hues. The central part features a prominent vertical alignment with symmetrical patterns on either side, and two human-like figures at the bottom. The arrangement displays a sophisticated balance of both vertical and horizontal lines, interspersed with a diverse assortment of symbolic imagery, demonstrating the artist’s affinity for Constructive Universalism. The use of primary colors and the meticulous placement of each element highlight the artist’s skill in utilizing abstraction to convey complex ideas and themes.
