Room 6 | González - Muñoz

 

Iron and paper

The solemn presence of these two sculptures attests to the fact that even though they were separated by a century, the avant-garde works of Julio González and Aurèlia Muñoz shared at least an interest and perhaps a nostalgia. Specifically, it is the interest in conquering the three-dimensionality of sculpture through wooden boards that open up to the space in González’s works and rectangular forms subtly resting on fine dowels that hold together the architecture in Muñoz’s. And it is the nostalgia of working with the hands to forge and weld the obstinate rigidity of metal in the former or to craft and beautifully dye the humble fibre of a piece of paper in the latter.
