Eduardo Chillida and Pilar Belzunce: Memories of a Daughter

Published to mark the centenary of the Spanish artist Eduardo Chillida’s birth, Eduardo Chillida and Pilar Belzunce: Memories of a Daughter is the first English translation of Susana Chillida’s memoir about her parents, Eduardo Chillida and Pilar Belzunce.

Susana Chillida’s memoir, Eduardo Chillida and Pilar Belzunce: Memories of a Daughter, offers an intimate portrait of Spain’s preeminent twentieth-century sculptor, capturing Eduardo Chillida’s life, work, and family through the eyes of his daughter. Chillida’s visionary practice was wide-ranging, spanning small-scale sculpture, plaster work, drawing, engraving, collage, and the monumental public sculptures for which he is best known. Published to mark the centenary of the artist’s birth, Eduardo Chillida and Pilar Belzunce captures Chillida as both a pioneering artist and a socially engaged thinker, with Susana Chillida’s recollections and a wealth of archival images offering unprecedented insight into his and Belzunce’s universe: their family, their friendships, and the cultural circles to which they belonged.
