Now still another important Spanish name emerges that of Julio Gonzales, pioneer sculptor in metal, who was born in Barcelona in 1876 and died near Paris in 1942. The impressive retrospective held recently at the Museum of Modern Art establishes Gonzales as one of the makers and shakers of modern sculpture. Audacious semi-abstractions in iron rank Gonzales as the prime influence behind a good deal of the best of recent sculpture here and in Europe. Gonzales' father and brother were master metal craftsmen and as far back as 1893 his metal work had been exhibited at the Columbian Exhibition in Chicago.
