Nu assis de dos 1927

"Nu assis de dos" is a 1927 sculpture by Julio Gonzalez, a Spanish sculptor who is considered a pioneer of welded metal sculpture. The work depicts a nude figure in a seated position, viewed from behind, creating a sense of mystery and abstraction. Gonzalez utilized a unique approach by incorporating a "cut-out" style with a flat surface, similar to the techniques of the Cubist movement, resulting in a striking, minimal composition. This work is a testament to Gonzalez's experimentation and the artistic possibilities of metal sculpture, demonstrating his exploration of form and space.
