Roberta and Julio Gonz\u00e1lez are represented with 18 works of art in the exhibition “Picasso and the Exodus. A History of Spanish Art in Resistance,” held at the Abattoirs museum of Toulouse from March 15 to August 25, 2019. Their paintings, drawings and sculptures are displayed alongside artwork and photographs taken by the abstract painter Hans Hartung, Roberta Gonz\u00e1lez’s first husband, in a room especially devoted to the wartime creation of the Gonz\u00e1lez-Hartung family.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This exhibition, which is inspired by\u00a0Guernica,<\/a><\/em> held at Paris’s Picasso Museum in 2018, explores the artistic creation of Picasso and other pro-Republican artists in his entourage in Paris. It retraces his political engagement, as well as that of his compatriots like Julio Gonz\u00e1lez, which manifests itself most spectacularly in their works presented on the world stage at the Spanish Republican Pavilion during the 1937 World’s Fair in Paris. Like her father, Roberta Gonz\u00e1lez’s work also testifies to her support for the Spanish people under fascist attack, often appropriating her father’s favored wartime motif of the Catalan peasant, or Montserrat.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
