Removedor, año 5, núm. 23

In 1934, Joaquín Torres-García returned to his native Uruguay with the goal of developing his theory of Constructive Universalism into a major art movement in the Americas. He founded the Taller Torres-García, a workshop that taught the basic principles of Constructive art and geometric abstraction, as well as different art historical traditions, including indigenous art of the Americas. As part of its pedagogical and artistic efforts, the Taller published twenty-six bimonthly issues of “Removedor,” an in-house magazine that was made collaboratively by Torres-García and his students.
