Torres Garcia Catalog

Client MUBAM

The use of color and materials to represent the aesthetic bases of the artist’s work.

The design of this art catalog is commissioned by the MUBAM (Museum of Fine Arts of Murcia) as one more piece in an ambitious exhibition project on the work of the brilliant avant-garde artist Joaquín Torres-García. This catalog has become one of the most comprehensive retrospectives on the work of Torres-García. For the design of this art book we have focused on a conceptualization of the general features of the most important productive stage of the artist. In this sense, color and materials stand as one of the fundamental bases of his unique aesthetic. Aspects that we have taken to the design of catalogs in this case as guiding elements.

Bringing Torres-García to Murcia means getting closer to one of the fathers of constructivism. The design of the catalogue, like the work of Torres-García, had to transmit and attract just as the artist's work did.

Inside the catalogue, the characteristic color of each era plays an important role in the model to separate content, as well as the icons designed by the artist himself.
