 * Constructive Universalism**

Constructive Universalism was an art style created by the Uruguayan artist Joaquin Torres. The style is derived from the former concept of constructivism mixed with Joaquin's new style.("Joaquín Torres García")



The concept of constructivism started in Russia in 1913 by a man named Vladimir Tatlin. Universalism was influenced by cubism and futurism, focusing on geometric shapes and architecture.



However, Joaquin Torres innovated his own style, called constructive universalism, by utilizing the geometric shapes of constructivism with Uruguayan roots and historic input.("Joaquín Torres García") The Latin roots of Constructive Universalism can be seen in Torres' work as he influenced the style of future Latin artists of the same style like Salvador Dali.
