Solemn Head in Profile

Julio González’s work shirks the label of any art historical movement, synthesizing the two supposedly opposing styles of Constructivism and Surrealism. He pioneered a style of sculpture in which volume is suggested through openness and by the interplay between linear forms; His figures and the space within which they exist become inseparable. This practice would come to characterize the unique sculptural language that González termed “drawing in space”.
