JOAQUÍN TORRES GARCÍA (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1874 - 1949). "Landscape of Florence", 1945. Oil on canvas. Signed with initials and dated in the lower margin. Provenance: -Palatina Gallery, Buenos Aires, 1978. -Purchased at Sotheby's New York, May 2008. Work included in the Catalogue Raisonné by Cecilia de Torres (nº 1945.09). Measurements: 68,5 x 52,4 cm; 102 x 86 cm (frame). This is a late work by Torres García. The painter had already explored numerous languages and inaugurated styles and movements which would be key to the 20th century. In this view of a Florentine street, we are no longer faced with the reduction of reality to abstract planes, but the free brushstrokes plunge us once again into a figurative scene, but the language is highly synthetic. The swarming urban agitation denotes the wisdom of a pulse, of a hand, which has travelled a long and daring road. After beginning his training as a self-taught artist, in 1890 Torres García decided to emigrate in order to train as a painter. He travelled to Europe with his family the following year, at the age of seventeen. In 1892 he settled in Barcelona and enrolled at the School of Fine Arts. There he came into contact with French impressionism, the main influence at that time on him and other famous pupils, such as Mir, Sunyer, Canals and Nonell. In 1901 he began to paint in fresco, attracted by the timeless spirit of the ancient works executed in this technique, and entered into a dynamic of group work in which painters, musicians, sculptors and poets collaborated. Around 1910 he began to introduce formal elements typical of Catalonia into his work, imbued with the spirit of vindication of the Catalan identity of the time. Several official commissions are related to this new approach, among which the mural decoration of the Salón de Sant Jordi at the headquarters of the Diputación Provincial de Barcelona was a turning point in his career. In 1920 he moved to New York and came into contact with artists of the stature of Max Weber, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp. Shortly afterwards he returned to Europe and settled in Paris, where he frequented the meetings of the group led by Mondrian, thus coming closer to abstraction and constructivism. In 1934 he finally decided to return to Montevideo, where he was received as a member of the European artistic elite. There he founded the Sociedad de las Artes del Uruguay, whose aim was to integrate all the arts and act as a link between artists and the public.

JOAQUÍN TORRES GARCÍA (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1874 - 1949). "Camperols vora la mar", 1915. Oil on canvas. Signed in the lower right corner. Work published in the artist's online Catalogue Raisonné: no. 1915.02. Bibliography: Jardí 1973, "Joaquín Torres García III" p.80 n.101. Exhibitions: "L'obra pictórica de Joaquín Torres García", Cercle Artístic de San Lluc, Barcelona, 1933. Invisible restoration on the back. Measurements: 40 x 73 cm; 44,5 x 77,5 cm (frame). A woman waiting for her pitcher to fill up with water, an old man sitting in profile next to an olive tree, and a peasant with his farming tool are situated against a background of coastal landscape. Despite their proximity to each other, each withdraws into his own silence. The water carrier, the bearded old man and the farmer are reduced to types rooted to the land (here the legacy of Noucentisme is evident), but a synthetic language has been used which prefigures the development of Torres García's work towards Constructivism. This is a painting belonging to a hinge period, a key period in the painter's production, yet we have not been able to find many examples of it. Hence the importance of this painting. The oil painting is a valuable link in the dazzling evolution of his work since his first triumphs in the Noucentista avant-garde in Barcelona. In this landscape with figures, although the imprint of the reinterpretation of classicism persists, the way in which the bodies are resolved and the colours are applied already indicate a search radically different from that carried out by the Catalan group. In the way of economising the forms, as well as in the adaptation of the palette to a range of ochre and sienna tones, a Cezannian heartbeat can be appreciated. All this presages his great contribution to the history of modern art as the creator of Constructivism. In this carefully composed landscape, the three bodies are enclosed in their own gestures and thoughts, while at the same time they fit harmoniously into the scene, which is compartmentalised by the tree and the marina. The architectural detail has been described with the same eagerness to schematise the world, to reduce life to its essence. After beginning his training as a self-taught artist, in 1890 Torres García decided to emigrate in order to train as a painter. He travelled to Europe with his family the following year, at the age of seventeen. In 1892 he settled in Barcelona and enrolled at the School of Fine Arts.

This painting is a valuable link in the dazzling evolution of Torres García's work since his first triumphs in the Noucentista avant-garde in Barcelona. In this landscape with figures, although the Noucentista imprint remains through the reinterpretation of classicism and the interest in situating the figures in a rural setting, the manner of resolving the bodies and applying the colours already indicate a radically different approach from that of the Catalan group. In the way of economising the forms and synthesising the line, as well as in the adaptation of the palette to a range of ochre and sienna tones, we can appreciate a certain Cezannian beat.

JOAQUÍN TORRES GARCÍA (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1874 - 1949). "Constructivism", 1928. Oil on canvas. Signed and dated in the lower margin. With two labels of the Galería Dau al Set on the back. Exhibitions: "Torres García", at the Dau al Set gallery, Barcelona, 1976. Work referenced in the artist's online catalogue raisonné, with ref. no. 1928.81. Sizes: 34 x 45 cm; 53.5 x 64.5 cm (frame). Between 1926 and 1928, Torres García's work evolved at breakneck speed. Settled in Paris, he had definitively moved away from noucentista classicism and slipped into a very particular neoprimitivist painting. This Parisian cityscape dates from 1928. The Seine is crossed by boats with minimal strokes, as are the houses and figures, reduced to cubes and edges. The landscape undergoes a condensation and schematism that absorbs but transcends heterogeneous influences: Mondrian's neoplasticism and Ozenfant's purism leave a special mark on his planist compositions of those years. A thick black line accommodates shapes and colours applied flatly. The characteristic grey of the Parisian winter underlies the chromatic vivacity of the details. The "universal constructivism" with which Torres García would rise to the highest heights of modern art was already in the making. After beginning his training as a self-taught artist, in 1890 Torres García decided to emigrate in order to train as a painter. He travelled to Europe with his family the following year, at the age of seventeen. In 1892 he settled in Barcelona and enrolled at the School of Fine Arts. There he came into contact with French Impressionism, the main influence at that time on him and other famous pupils such as Mir, Sunyer, Canals and Nonell. He also worked in decoration, a field in which his collaboration with Antoni Gaudí in the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca stands out. Around 1910 he began to introduce formal elements typical of Catalonia into his work, imbued with the spirit of vindication of the Catalan identity of the time. Several official commissions are related to this new approach, among which the mural decoration of the Salón de Sant Jordi at the headquarters of the Diputación Provincial de Barcelona (Barcelona Provincial Council) was a turning point in his career. In 1920 he moved to New York and came into contact with artists of the stature of Max Weber, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp. Shortly afterwards he returned to Europe and settled in Paris, where he frequented the meetings of the group led by Mondrian, and thus came closer to abstraction and constructivism. In 1934 he finally decided to return to Montevideo, where he was received as a member of the European artistic elite. There he creates the Sociedad de las Artes del Uruguay, whose aim is to integrate all the arts and act as a link between artists and the public. He came into contact with Uruguayan pre-Columbian and indigenous art, and this aesthetic, new to him, was to have a crucial influence on his thinking. He claimed that artists did not need to renounce being Latin American by pretending to be contemporary, and he brought a new dimension to the construction of the modern American language. Moreover, from this moment on, the cultural symbolism of his homeland took on a decisive importance in his work. His work can be found in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the museums of Modern Art in New York, San Francisco and Lille, the Museo Nacional Reina Sofía, the Museo Nacional de Arte de Cataluña, the Museo Torres García in Montevideo, the Fine Arts Museums of Houston, Philadelphia and Santa Barbara, the Museo Nacional de Bellas Artes in São Paulo, the Hirshhorn and Art of the Americas Museums in Washington DC, the Albright-Knox Gallery in Buffalo and the Los Angeles County Museum, among others.

There he came into contact with French Impressionism, the main influence at that time on him and other famous pupils, such as Mir, Sunyer, Canals and Nonell. He combined this school with classes at the Baixas Academy, the most renowned at the time. From 1894 he took part in the General Exhibitions of Fine Arts, in the foreign section. During this decade he published several drawings in newspapers and magazines such as "La Vanguardia", "Iris", "Barcelona Cómica" and "La Saeta". In 1901 he began to paint in fresco, attracted by the timeless spirit of the ancient works executed in this technique, and entered a group work dynamic in which painters, musicians, sculptors and poets collaborated. Years later he travelled to Italy to perfect his knowledge of this discipline. He also worked in decoration, a field in which his collaboration with Antoni Gaudí in the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca stands out.

JOAQUÍN TORRES GARCÍA (Montevideo, Uruguay, 1874 - 1949). "Fructus espiritus". Pencil on paper. Attached Certificate of the Torres García Foundation, 1990. Measurements: 16.5 x 13 cm; 38 x 35 cm (frame). After beginning his training as a self-taught artist, in 1890 Torres García decided to emigrate in order to train as a painter. He travels to Europe with his family the following year, at the age of seventeen. In 1892 he settled in Barcelona and entered the School of Fine Arts. There he came into contact with French impressionism, the main influence at that time for him and other famous students, such as Mir, Sunyer, Canals and Nonell. He combined this school with classes at the Baixas Academy, the most reputable at the time. From 1894 he participated in the General Exhibitions of Fine Arts, in the foreign section. During this decade he published several drawings in newspapers and magazines such as "La Vanguardia", "Iris", "Barcelona Cómica" or "La Saeta". In 1901 he began to paint in fresco, attracted by the timeless spirit of the ancient works made in this technique, and entered a dynamic group work in which painters, musicians, sculptors and poets collaborated. Years later he traveled to Italy to perfect his knowledge of this discipline. He also worked in decoration, a field in which his collaboration with Antoni Gaudí in the cathedral of Palma de Mallorca stands out. Around 1910 he began to introduce formal elements typical of Catalonia into his work, imbued with the spirit of vindication of the Catalan identity of the time. Several official commissions are related to this new approach, among which the mural decoration of the Salón de Sant Jordi at the headquarters of the Diputación Provincial de Barcelona stands out as a turning point in his career. In 1920 he moved to New York and came into contact with artists of the stature of Max Weber, Man Ray and Marcel Duchamp. Soon after he returned to Europe and settled in Paris, where he frequented the meetings of the group led by Mondrian, thus approaching abstraction and constructivism. In 1934 he finally decided to return to Montevideo, where he was received as a member of the European artistic elite. There he creates the Society of the Arts of Uruguay, whose aim was to integrate all the arts and act as a link between artists and the public. He came into contact with pre-Columbian and indigenous Uruguayan art, and this aesthetic, new to him, would have a crucial influence on his thinking. He claimed that artists did not need to renounce being Latin American by pretending to be contemporary, and he brought a new dimension to the construction of the modern American language. Moreover, from this moment on, the cultural symbology of his own land took on a decisive importance in his work. His work is preserved in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, the Modern Art Museums of New York, San Francisco and Lille, the Reina Sofia National Museum, the National Art Museum of Catalonia, the Torres Garcia Museum of Montevideo, the Fine Arts Museums of Houston, Philadelphia and Santa Barbara, the National Museum of Fine Arts of São Paulo, the Hirshhorn and Art of the Americas Museums of Washington DC, the Albright-Knox Gallery of Buffalo and the Los Angeles County Museum, among others.
