After arriving in Paris in 1900, Julio González spent his life and his entire career as a sculptor in the cosmopolitan and artistic Montparnasse district, in close contact with the exiled Spanish community.
From 1928 to 1932, he worked closely with Pablo Picasso, in particular on new iron welding techniques applied to Cubist sculpture.
