GONZÁLEZ AND PICASSO : AN IRON-CLAD FRIENDSHIP

Musée Le Secq des Tournelles : an exhibition to mark the 40th anniversary of the Pompidou Centre

Julio Gonzalez was the first sculptor to have considered iron as a material for use in modern art.

His friendship with Picasso was instrumental in the careers of both artists. Held at the Musée Le Secq des Tournelles, which is devoted to the art of ironwork, the exhibition attempts to retrace the evolution of the work of each artist, along with the pair’s aesthetic exchanges.

This joint exhibition includes around forty loans from the National Museum of Modern Art and is part of the calendar of festivities organised to mark 40 years of the Pompidou Centre.
