Joaquin Torres-Garcia : The Arcadian Modern

Exhibition at The Museum of Modern Art, New York, 25 Otober 2015 - 15 February 2016.

Drawn to both the avant-garde and the primitive, the schematic and the utopian, Joaquín Torres-García (1874-1949) participated in some of the most crucial intellectual and artistic discussions of the past century. His close involvement with several early modern and avant-garde movements, including Catalan Noucentisme, Cubism, Ultraism, Vibrationism, and Neo-Plasticism, make him an unparalleled figure in the history of modernism in the Americas.
Published in conjunction with the first major, all-inclusive retrospective of the artist's work in the United States since the 1970s, this exhibition catalogue presents Torres-García's long and wide-ranging career, and includes drawings, paintings, objects, sculptures, and rare manuscripts.
