"From the notes left by Julio Gonzalez : Designing and drawing in space with new means, utilizing it and moulding it as if it were a novel material, that is what I am pursuing. Only the spire of a cathedral can show us that point in Heaven, where our soul may live. In the unrest of the night the stars are to us points of hope in the skies. These points in infinity have been the forerunners of the new art: Signs in space. The significance of the problem to be solved is not merely the creation of a harmonic work, a fully balanced whole. No! Its solution lies in the union of matter and space, of realistic and imaginary forms, denoted by fixed points or holes. These forms must flow into each other and must be inseparable like body and soul. VG- some staining to back of dj, residue from tape present on front, pages excellent .
