The Station
1930
Imagine a busy town where a steam train rumbles across a high bridge right above a bakery and a cafe! Torres-García sketches this scene with charming, almost childlike simplicity, using geometric shapes for the wheels, buildings, and the horses pulling carriages on the street below. Created in 1930, this drawing hints at his later famous style called Constructive Universalism, a key part of modernism where he organized symbols into grid-like structures. It’s a delightful snapshot of modern industry meeting old-world charm, all captured in quick, energetic lines.
