Fundación MAPFRE opens to the public an exhibition that presents the collaboration between Pablo Picasso and Julio Gonzalez. A fundamental episode for the introduction of abstraction in the sculptural field that is presented, for the first time, as the consequence of a process that, in the words of Tomàs Llorens, curator of the exhibition at the origin of this project, “responded to an impulse of transparency and dematerialization that shook up, in a variety of ways, the artistic creation of the late 1920s and early 1930s”.
