Joaquin Torres-Garcia was an avant garde artist since 1900. He was very influential as an artist, but critics accredit his fame to his status as a landowner. Torres-Garcia is considered the father of Universal Constructivism, which is a "style of painting that combines a gridlock, abstract structure with symbolic images". Many of his works involve lines and simple shapes, a system which he developed from texts and his own experiences. I want to emulate his work in that he has a personal system that he strictly follows.
