Diecut lithograph 'Untitled' by Eduardo Chillida (1924-2002). 'Chillida studied in Madrid and then went to Pairs where he was influenced by Pablo Palazuelo in his first figurative work, done in plaster and clay. Other influences were Frank Lloyd Wright, Albert Giacometti and Joan Miro. In 1950, he began doing printmaking---lithography, woodcuts, etchings, drypoints and silkscreens. His graphics are not related to his sculpture but are creative expressions unto themselves. During the 1960s, his graphics tended to be massive black lines on white, giving the appearance of realistic shapes.' {source: askart} (Key Word Search: Antoni Tàpies, Jorge Oteiza, Antonio Saura, Joan Miró, Miquel Barceló, Pierre Alechinsky)
