Relatively
unknown, Joan González was an artist of the generation of Matisse whose premature death deprived him of the fame obtained by his younger brother Julio González, considered as the founder
of modern sculpture, or his friend Picasso, who was traumatized by this event. Joan González was an excellent sketcher of the Belle Époque times and a student of the renowned School of Paris. Historical documents full of grace, black and white drawings of Joan González portray one of the
golden eras of art: that of Toulouse-Lautrec and the Bohemia. Praised
the day after his death by the great Uruguayan painter Torres García, Joan González left some drawings with field and city
scenes, characters and self-portraits, as well as paintings and
sculptures, present in the Louvre Museum and in the National Art Museum of Catalonia.
