Figure abstraite (Abstract figure) is one of Julio González’s last works.

It is an assembly of curves and vertical ascending diagonals, which take the form of a person who is rising.  Executed during the Nazi Occupation of Paris, this work rendered in the forbidden avant-gardiste aesthetic testifies to the inventiveness and resistance at the heart of Julio González’s late work.  This sculpture is housed in the IVAM Centre Julio González.
