About the sculpture
González’s early iron sculptures—small heads in low relief made in 1928–29—are closely related in subject, style, and technique to the masks Pablo Gargallo had been producing in copper since 1907 and in iron since 1913. Both artists first learned metalworking techniques during their early years in Barcelona, a city renowned for its tradition of wrought-iron ornament, which reached a new climax in the buildings of Antoni Gaudí.
