Being an Artist. Julio González
No Customer Reviews
A richly illustrated catalog, with biography, of artist Julio Gonz?lez. The sculptures of Julio Gonz?lez (1876-1942) were shown at MoMA in 1956, and our understanding of his influence on modern art has grown steadily since. This lavishly illustrated book offers a new, highly nuanced account of Gonz?lez's life, work, and legacy. Beginning with Gonz?lez's complex family relationships, Juan Jos? Lahuerta explores the tensions involved as Gonz?lez sought to combine his craft with efforts to become a painter, as the Romantic, bohemian mentality of the late nineteenth century had idealized. Lahuerta also explores the importance of Gonz?lez's relationships with Picasso and other contemporaries, which helps us understand how, in the 1930s, his na?ve artist's urge was replaced by a radical urge to make art that would break every taboo related to tradition, craft, and material. The second section of the book offers a stunning presentation of the new exhibition of the Julio Gonz?lez collection at the Institut Valenci? d'Art Modern. The book will serve as a milestone in our understanding of Gonz?lez's work and influence.
