In 1959 his family moved to Paris. It was there that he began to attend French and international schools. When he turned 18, he decided to dedicate himself to art, and began to study etching with Henri Goetz, an American artist who ran a school in Montparnasse. He was then accepted at the Beaux-Arts in Paris, where he studied painting and lithography. School in Paris was followed by a year in Sweden spent pursuing his study of lithography with Bertil Lundberg, the renowned Swedish print maker. After finishing his studies, he traveled in Europe and Africa and began to exhibit his work. In 1980 he visited New York and settled there, living in downtown Manhattan in the midst of a thriving art scene and occupying studios in Soho, TriBeCa and Chinatown. He would live in New York for nearly a decade, until 1989. New York impacted him strongly and he has said that the first years there were like being back in school – his work went through a total revolution. The second half of his extended sojourn in the city was extremely productive and he had a number of exhibitions in both New York and around the United States. By 1989, he was drawn back to Europe and based himself in Paris.

  • CUBISM and ABSTRACTION Background
    015_Cubism_Abstraction.doc READINGS: CUBISM AND ABSTRACTION Background: Apollinaire, On Painting Apollinaire, Various Poems Background: Magdalena Dabrowski, "Kandinsky: Compositions" Kandinsky, Concerning the Spiritual in Art Background: Serial Music Background: Eugen Weber, CUBISM, Movements, Currents, Trends, p. 254. As part of the great campaign to break through to reality and express essentials, Paul Cezanne had developed a technique of painting in almost geometrical terms and concluded that the painter "must see in nature the cylinder, the sphere, the cone:" At the same time, the influence of African sculpture on a group of young painters and poets living in Montmartre - Picasso, Braque, Max Jacob, Apollinaire, Derain, and Andre Salmon - suggested the possibilities of simplification or schematization as a means of pointing out essential features at the expense of insignificant ones. Both Cezanne and the Africans indicated the possibility of abstracting certain qualities of the subject, using lines and planes for the purpose of emphasis. But if a subject could be analyzed into a series of significant features, it became possible (and this was the great discovery of Cubist painters) to leave the laws of perspective behind and rearrange these features in order to gain a fuller, more thorough, view of the subject. The painter could view the subject from all sides and attempt to present its various aspects all at the same time, just as they existed-simultaneously. We have here an attempt to capture yet another aspect of reality by fusing time and space in their representation as they are fused in life, but since the medium is still flat the Cubists introduced what they called a new dimension-movement.

  • Julio González First Master of the Torch in Dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro
    Julio González First Master of the Torch in dialogue with Pablo Picasso David Smith Eduardo Chillida Anthony Caro González: First Master of the Torch David Smith, ARTnews, February 1956 The Bull in its symbolic action has stood for many things in Picasso’s history, things Spanish and things noble. The Bull has been the artist, the people of Spain, the open-eyed conscience of free men, the disemboweler of the lie of Franco, the aggressive protector of women, and among other symbols, the lover of woman. But after the death of Julio González, Picasso’s friend of forty-five years, the Bull becomes a skull on a green and blue fractioned table before the window curtained in violet and black. Coming home from the funeral Picasso had done this picture of a bull’s skull and dedicated it: “En homage à González.” To the wall of his studio was tacked a snapshot of his friend. For Picasso all source of life becomes the nature of painting. On what peaks did memory ride — for they were friends from youth, from the days of the Barcelona café, Els Quatre Gats. In 1901 Picasso shared González’s living quarters in Paris until he found a studio. Throughout the succeeding years they remained on good terms, visiting each other, even working together; and then, the end at Arcueil in March of 1942. The youngest of four children (the others, his sisters Pilar and Lola, his brother Juan), González was born in Barcelona in 1876. Both Juan and Julio were apprenticed in their fa- ther’s metal shop, becoming third-generation smiths.

    LOST LOOSE AND LOVED FOREIGN ARTISTS IN PARIS 1944-1968 The exhibition Lost, Loose, and Loved: Foreign Artists in Paris, 1944–1968 concludes the year 2018 at the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía with a broad investigation of the varied Parisian art scene in the decades after World War II. The exhibition focuses on the complex situation in France, which was striving to recuperate its cultural hegemony and recompose its national identity and influence in the newly emerging postwar geopolitical order of competing blocs. It also places a particular focus on the work of foreign artists who were drawn to the city and contributed to creating a stimulating, productive climate in which intense discussion and multiple proposals prevailed. Cultural production in a diverse, continuously transforming postwar Paris has often been crowded out by the New York art world, owing both to a skillful exercise of American propaganda that had spellbound much of the criticism, market, and institutions, as well as later to the work of canonical art history with its celebration of great names and specific moments. Dismissed as secondary, minor, or derivative, art practices in those years, such as those of the German artist Wols, the Dutch artist Bram van Velde, or the Portuguese artist Maria Helena Vieira da Silva, to name just a few, lacked the single cohesive image that the New York School offered with Abstract Impressionism and its standard bearer, Jackson Pollock. In contrast, in Paris there existed a multitude of artistic languages and positions coexisting
