Mano
1949
"Mano" by Eduardo Chillida is a pencil work on paper mounted on card that exemplifies the Spanish sculptor's exploration of form through drawing. The work captures the artist's characteristic interest in the relationship between space and mass, translating his three dimensional sculptural concerns into the two dimensional medium of graphite. As with much of Chillida's oeuvre, the hand (mano) serves as a subject that allows him to investigate gesture, weight, and the expressive potential of simplified, essential forms.
