Description
EDUARDO CHILLIDA JUANTEGUI (San Sebastian, 1924 - 2002).
"A peu pel llibre".
Etching on Rives paper, copy 7/75.
Hand signed and dated.
Hatz d'Ignacio Chillida de San Sebastián Printing.
Measurements: 8 x 11 cm (print); 65 x 50 cm (paper); 75 x 59 cm (frame).
Engraving from the book "A peu pel llibre" with poems by Joan Brossa, etchings by Chillida and frontispiece by Pere Gimferrer, published by Polígrafa in Barcelona. Polígrafa summarises in its synopsis "The harshness of Brossa's poems, violent and harsh in their nakedness, combine with the serenity of Chillida's engravings. Each combination of poem and engraving constitutes, in fact, a triptych, formed by the title, on the title page, the text by Brossa and the engraving by Chillida, so that each of these elements contrasts with the previous one. At the same time, the title acts as a bridge to the optical and almost tactile poetry of the engravings".
Chillida began drawing at the Círculo de Bellas Artes in Madrid, and his interest in sculpture gradually grew. It was during his years in Paris that he made his first plaster sculptures, impressed by the archaic Greek sculpture in the Louvre. He held his first sculpture exhibition in the French capital in 1950. In 1951 he returned to San Sebastián for good, and produced his first work in iron, the material he would work with for the rest of his life. Throughout his life, Chillida received numerous prizes and awards, including the Carnegie Prize, the Rembrandt Prize, the Wolf Foundation Prize for the Arts and the Prince of Asturias Prize for the Arts. He was also an academician of San Fernando, and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Honorary of the Royal Academy of Arts in London and of the Imperial Order of Japan, and was awarded the Grand Cross for Humanitarian Merit by the Institution of the same name in Barcelona. In addition to his Chillida-Leku Museum in Hernani, he is represented in museums and collections all over the world, such as the Guggenheim in Bilbao, the MOMA in New York, the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Tate Gallery in London and the Neue Nationalgalerie in Berlin.
