Welcome to the official website of the Spanish artist Julio González (1876-1942). Artisan metal-worker, painter and skilled draftsman, González sets himself apart as one of the most innovative artists of the 20th century through his iron sculpture. By breaking the boundaries between artistic and industrial practices, Gonzalez is the first to “draw in space” with iron, integrating space as a constructive element in his compositions.
This site is maintained by Julio González Administration, the entity entrusted with the universal rights to González’s work. The Administration’s mission is to diffuse and promote not only González’s work and legacy, but also that of his daughter, the painter Roberta González (1909-1976) and his brother, Joan González (1868-1908).
This important Julio González retrospective retraces the major phases in the evolution of his work in Paris, from his early metal masks made with the repoussé technique in the 1910-1920s, to his mature works of the 1930-1940s which revolutionize iron sculpture. The works presented come for the most part from the collection of the Musée National d’art Moderne (MNAM) of Paris. The exhibition will be on display at the Centre Pompidou Málaga from May 27 to October 17, 2021.
