The artwork, titled “Monumento,” is a sculpture created in 1971 by the artist Eduardo Chillida. It belongs to the Abstract Art movement, demonstrating the artist’s exploration of form and space through abstract expression.
“Monumento” is a robust structure composed of interlocking metal blocks that create a dynamic interplay of geometric shapes. The sculpture stands on a grassy area, framed by a backdrop of leafless trees, emphasizing its stark and industrial aesthetic. The metal surfaces exhibit varying patinas, contributing to the textural complexity and visual depth of the piece. The positioning of the blocks suggests a sense of precarious balance, inviting viewers to contemplate the relationship between stability and movement within the abstract composition.
