Painter, sculptor, writer, critic, and educator, Joaquín Torres-García nurtured modern art across Europe, North America, and South America. Within what is known as Western culture, Torres-García represents a unique synthesis of its three paradigmatic continents.

Born in the last quarter of the XIX century, Joaquin Torres-García soon ventured beyond the confines of academia to become one of the founding figures of modern art. His work defies conventional historical categorization. An adventurous spirit, he worked in more than twenty cities, sailing four times across the Atlantic.
