"More than anything else, I am interested in what children do. I am going to apply all my painting to toys."
Following on from his meeting with Theo Van Doesburg, the founder of the De Stijl movement, Joaquîn Torres-Garcia sought to apply neoplastic principles to everyday life. His attachment to the world of children led him to design this series of figurines made out of waste materials.Commercialised as early as 1918 in Barcelona, his first toys were also exhibited in galleries as sculptures. Other series produced by the Aladin brand were sold in Printemps shops.
