Katedraalbouw
1931
Joaquín Torres-García didn't just paint a building; he engineered a visual puzzle using thick black grids and blocks of dusty pinks, yellows, and grays, punctuated by striking dashes of red. Created in 1931, this piece captures his obsession with structure and order, a philosophy he later championed as 'Constructive Universalism.' He wanted art to be a universal language, using simple geometric shapes to connect with everyone, much like ancient symbols or maps. The result looks like a blueprint for a mystical city, where every rectangular block holds a secret meaning just waiting to be decoded.
