母と子
1941
Julio González was a master of iron sculpture, but here he swaps his welding torch for charcoal to capture a tender 'Mother and Child' in a jagged, Cubist style. Dated May 17, 1941, during the dark days of World War II in Paris, the drawing feels both protective and fractured. The figures are built from sharp angles and blocks of shadow, looking almost like a wooden puzzle come to life, with the mother's arms wrapping securely around the smaller form. You can see his initials 'J.G.' in the bottom corner, marking a moment of quiet creation amidst the chaos.
