International Post War – Van der Koelen 73023. - Eines von 50 Exemplaren. - Druck im Atelier Morsang, Paris. - Hrsg. v. Maeght, Éditeur, Paris. - Chillidas imaginatives Verständnis von Form, Fläche und Raum, das er in seinen plastischen Arbeiten virtuos zum Ausdruck bringt, findet in seinem graphischen Werk eine konsekutive Fortsetzung. Im Spiel mit abstrakten Formen, der Reduzierung auf die Farbe Schwarz und Fokus auf Materialitäten schafft er in Arbeiten wie "Atzapar" Graphiken höchst eigenen, besonderen Reizes. Er hält seine Bildfindungen in einer für ihn charakteristischen, reliefartigen Formenstruktur fest, die bewusst gesetzte, feinsinnige Linienführung ist als plastische Übersetzung seiner raumgreifenden Arbeiten zu verstehen. Das Schwarz und Weiß stets wirkungsvoll konturierend, eröffnet er ein wechselvolles Verhältnis von Schwere und Leichtigkeit.

International Post War – Etching on strong wove paper- Signed, with artist's signet and numbered. - Very few, very slight handling traces in margins, lower left corner with slight crease mark, tiny, faint-brown stains in outermost right margin, all in all very good and impeccably nice. Splendid, contrast-rich and wonderfully textured impression with very wide margin, deckle edge on the right. One of 50 copies. - Printed by Atelier Morsang, Paris. - Publ. by Maeght, Éditeur, Paris. - Chillida's imaginative understanding of form, surface, and space, which he masterfully expresses in his sculptural works, finds a natural continuation in his graphic work. By playing with abstract forms, reducing his palette to the color black, and focusing on materiality, he creates graphic works such as "Atzapar" that possess a charm of their very own. He captures his visual concepts in a relief-like structural form that is characteristic of his style. The deliberately placed, subtle lines can be understood as a sculptural translation of his spatially expansive works. By effectively contrasting black and white, he creates a dynamic interplay between heaviness and lightness.
