（Digital Remastered Edition）
【Joaquin Torres Garcia】
(28 July 1874 – 8 August 1949) Spanish Uruguayan artist, son of Catalan father and a Uruguayan mother, born in Montevideo, where he lived through his childhood. As an adolescent he emigrated to Catalunya, Spain, the land of his father, where he initiated himself as an artist in 1891. For the next three decades, he embraced Catalan identity adopting the language, leading Barcelona’s art and culture to its utmost vanguards. A ‘renaissance or universal man’; painter, sculptor, muralist, novelist, writer, teacher and theorist. He was also active in United States, Italy, France and Uruguay, from where his influence encompasses a personal presence in European, North American and South American modern art. He dealt the eternal dilemma between the old and the modern, the classical and the avant-garde, reason and feeling, figuration and abstraction with a simple and brilliant metaphor: there is no contradiction or incompatibility. The same brush strokes serve for a primitive composition or for a mural of Renaissance inspiration. Like Goethe, he seeks the integration between classicism and modernity.
