This artwork showcases a composition of geometric shapes and blocks, with a subdued yet striking palette that primarily features red, blue, white, black, and hints of green against a textured gold background. Torres-García plays with the arrangement of these elements in a grid-like structure, creating a sense of balance and harmony.Within this abstract configuration, the juxtaposition of warm and cool tones punctuates the painting, highlighting the artist's masterful use of color to evoke depth and perspective. The thick, visible brushstrokes add a tactile quality to the piece, underlining the physical act of painting and the artist’s hand at work."Formas Abstractas" speaks to Torres-García's exploration of universal symbolism and the structured, mystical qualities of geometric abstraction. This artwork is a splendid representation of his contributions to the development of modern art, inviting viewers to delve into a visual dialogue between form, color, and the intrinsic meanings beneath them.
