Head Shouting is a 1919 oil by Julio González, held at Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya.
The painting depicts a head in profile, with its mouth open in a shout. The head is composed of geometric shapes, with a mix of earthy tones such as brown, red, and orange. The background is dark, with a subtle gradient that adds depth to the image. A notable detail is the use of bold brushstrokes and vivid colors, which creates a sense of energy and emotion. The overall effect is one of dynamic tension, as if the figure is about to burst out of the frame.
