In his own words, the artist explains his artistic revolution: projecting and drawing in space while using the void as just another material. In contrast to traditional sculpture, which shunned gaps, González turns them into essential constructive elements. A brief but fundamental work for understanding the birth of modern sculpture and the transition toward abstraction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJulio González sets forth his creative process and the philosophy underlying his work. The book focuses on his quest to harness space and build with it, treating it as a reclaimed material. Unlike classical sculpture, which filled all volumes, González uses the void and the gaps as indispensable elements to define his forms. Through his texts, the reader discovers how drawing and projection in space, aided by new technical means, give rise to an open, light, and modern sculpture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIron sculpture and new techniques of spatial construction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe void as a sculptural material in opposition to the tradition of solid volume.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCreative process and projective drawing in three-dimensional space.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTransition from figurative sculpture to modern abstraction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eTheoretical thinking and artistic manifesto of Julio González.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at students and professionals of art, sculpture, and contemporary art history.
