Julio Gonz

Sculptor, born in Barcelona, NE Spain. Educated at the Escuela de Bellas Artes, in 1900 he went to Paris, joining the avant-garde circle around Picasso. He began as a painter, but in 1927 turned to sculpture, mainly in wrought and welded iron. Like Picasso he was inspired initially by African masks, and worked in a Cubist style, but also had links with Surrealism. His chief works as a sculptor were realized in the last fifteen years of his life, during which time he began to use cast iron for his sculptures. His most famous work is ‘Montserrat I’, a life-size figure of a peasant mother (1936–7), a symbol of popular resistance in the Spanish Civil War.
