Catalogue Note
“In order to give the most power and beauty to his work, the sculptor must be aware of the exterior contour, in order to preserve its sense of mass. So it is in the center of this mass that he must concentrate all his effort, all his imagination and his science, so that its power won’t be weakened”—Julio González
