The artwork entitled “Main Gauche Levée no. 2” was created by the artist Julio Gonzalez in 1942. This piece, which belongs to the Cubism art movement, is a sculpture.
The artwork depicts an abstract representation of an upraised left hand. The sculpture is characterized by its rough, almost jagged textures, with the fingers dynamically splayed and the palm facing outward. The hand, though not hyper-realistic, captures a sense of movement and fluidity, embodying the essence of Cubism through its fragmented and geometric form. The bronze material used for the sculpture adds to its weight and presence, giving it a strong, resilient quality. The details of the artwork highlight Gonzalez’s mastery in manipulating metal to convey a powerful and expressive gesture.
