Julio González, a master of iron sculpture and close collaborator of Picasso, brings his 3D vision to paper in this striking study. You can see two fragmented heads floating in space, broken down into the geometric puzzle pieces typical of Cubism. The figure on the left is a sharp, shadowy profile with heavy, textured shading, while the right one is a playful assembly of triangles and curves. Since González was primarily a sculptor, these drawings often served as 'blueprints' for his metal works, exploring how light and shadow would hit angular forms. It’s a fascinating glimpse into the workshop of an artist who actually taught Picasso how to weld!
