Abstract

Three paradoxical steps deal with the importance of the ideas of German mysticism, especially the work of Meister Eckhart, to Eduardo Chillida: the representation of non-representable, the vacuum filled with light and the music in silence are elements that pervade the artistic creation of the great Spanish sculptor. They are clearly related to German mysticism.
