Chillida, Eduardo. Guillén, Jorge
Paris. Maeght Editeur. 1973
The édition de tête with the separate signed suite.
From the edition limited to 175 numbered copies on papier d'Auvergne du Moulin Richard-de-Bas (including 25 numbered in Roman numerals), with this one of the first 50 édition de tête copies signed by the artist and author in pencil to the justification with the separate suite of all of the woodcuts printed on Japon Bun Koshi and signed and numbered by Chillida in pencil.
' ... Chillida's pure contour drawings have a sparser, cooler, and harsher touch that is like a posthumous evocation of Brancusi's absolute lines. It is typical for the Spaniard that, when characterizing a basic element such as line, he immediately refers to philosophical dimensions such as motion, time, and space.' (Michael Semff, ''L'Ordonnance d'un Labyrinthe': Sculptors' Contributions to the Illustrated Artist's Book' in 'Splendid Pages', 2003).
