In spite of the danger and lack of materials, Hartung, Roberta and Julio pursue their artistic work. Though part of Hartung&#8217;s wartime creation shows continuity with his abstract work from the 1930s, the figurative heads and &#8220;Gonzaloid&#8221; motifs attest to his father-in-laws influence on his work in spite of their very different paradigms on the essence of artistic creation.  Indeed, whereas Hartung was a fervent advocate of abstraction, Gonz\u00e1lez believed that Nature, or observed reality, was the necessary point of departure for all artistic production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-3 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li
