Julio Gonzalez
Julio Gonzalez (1876-1942), a Spanish sculptor and painter, played a pivotal role in the development of modern iron sculpture. Collaborating with artists like Pablo Picasso, Gonzalez's innovative approach to metalwork, particularly his technique of "drawing in space" using iron, revolutionized sculpture in the early 20th century. His works, characterized by their abstract and skeletal forms, are featured in major museums like the Musée National d'Art Moderne in Paris.
