Joaquín Torres García - La regla abstracta - 1967

Joaquín Torres García's "La regla abstracta" from 1967 reflects the profound influence of this Uruguayan artist and theorist on modern abstract art in Latin America and beyond. Torres García was a pioneer of Constructivism in the Americas, developing a universal language of geometric abstraction infused with symbolic meaning. "La regla abstracta" or "The Abstract Rule" likely pertains to his theoretical writings or artistic explorations emphasizing order, grid systems, and the balance between universal forms and particular cultural symbols. His approach combined European modernist principles with indigenous and mythological elements, advocating for a New World aesthetic rooted in both abstraction and identity.
