Gegen die Folter
Eduardo Chillida

Eduardo Chillida (1924–2002) was probably one of the most important sculptors and graphic artists of the twentieth century. His unagitated sculptures and works on paper are sometimes strangely abstract compositions that refuse the observer’s gaze. Others appear almost figural in their extensive movements and interact with both the landscape and the observer. Both in sculpture and in graphic art Chillida was a master of materiality, so even a seemingly simple etching has a discreet, almost poetic effect, but is at the same time space-consuming and monumental.
