Constructivo
exquisitely demonstrates Augusto’s assimilation of Torres-García’s system of
Constructive Universalism into his own artistic concerns, emphasizing organic
and whimsical shapes. Although the emphasis remains on structural organization
defined by the grid, the pictographs expand beyond the individual compartments,
thus endowing them with a more abstract, pictorial quality. Composed of incised
and painted wood, the work demonstrates the versatility with which the Taller
Torres-García approached wood constructions.
