Joaquín Torres-García. Construction in White and Black. 1938 -- MOMA

The artist's attempts to synthesize European modernism with the visual languages of indigenous South America interest me.

@jemmesedi The image is a close-up of a textured, monochromatic surface composed of numerous rectangular, pillar-like shapes. These shapes are arranged in a dense, overlapping pattern, creating a three-dimensional effect due to variations in shadow and light. The pillars vary in length and width, some standing vertically while others are shorter and appear to be stacked or intersected. The surface has a metallic sheen, with visible highlights and dark shadows suggesting a polished material like metal. The image includes text in the bottom left corner reading "36 JTG", in the bottom center "ENE1", and in the bottom right "ΛΛS".
