The Worlds of Joaquín Torres-García 2018 Acquavella Galleries.

The Worlds of Joaquín Torres-García, an exhibition comprised of over sixty paintings, sculptures and works on paper from 1896 to 1949. Drawn from the private collection of the family of the artist, this group of works has never been exhibited as a whole. Best known for his semi-abstract paintings of universal symbols that emphasize the contrast and synthesis between "classical" and "modern" beauty, Torres-García defies easy categorization. This exhibition demonstrates his protean reach as an artist, pushing not only the boundaries of abstraction but also bringing modern vitality and innovation to landscape, cityscape, and portraiture, themes that preoccupied him throughout his working life in Barcelona, New York, Paris, Madrid, and Montevideo.
