Casas rurais no inverno by Julio González, 1928

Before he became famous for teaching Picasso how to weld metal, Julio González was busy sketching the countryside. In this 1928 piece, he takes a quiet winter village and gives it a Cubist makeover, turning simple white houses into sharp, geometric shapes. The bright red chimney pops against the moody, scribbled trees and dark hills, showing how he was already playing with bold contrasts long before he picked up a torch. It's a fantastic glimpse into the mind of a man who would soon revolutionize modern sculpture.
