Fine etching and aquatint. // Une Hélène de vent ou fumée II by Eduardo Chillida, created in 1990, is an evocative etching and aquatint that explores themes of movement, texture, and abstraction. The composition is marked by an intricate network of scratches and black lines layered across the upper section, while the lower part remains untouched, creating a striking contrast between density and open space. The chaotic overlay of lines suggests natural forces at play, such as wind or smoke, in line with the artwork’s title. Chillida’s use of rough, gestural marks captures a raw, elemental energy, inviting viewers to sense the transience of the depicted forms. This piece exemplifies Chillida’s focus on the tactile quality of his prints, balancing intensity with a serene minimalism.

What is Art Informel?
Art Informel is a French term referring to the gestural and improvisational techniques common in abstract painting during the 1940s and 50s. It encompasses various styles that dominated these decades, characterized by informal, spontaneous methods. Artists used this term to describe approaches that moved away from traditional structures and embraced more expressive, unstructured techniques.
