Influential Uruguayan artist, theorist, and teacher Joaquín Torres-García (1874–1949) proposed that human beings have an "abstract impulse"—a universal tendency to abstract from nature—and that beginning with the Renaissance, this primal tendency had been supplanted in art with imitations of every aspect of human life. Explore the exhibition The Abstract Impulse: Selections from the Modern and Contemporary Collections and discover the variety of ways that 20th-century artists reclaimed the "abstract impulse."
