About The Artist...
Alberto Giacometti Was A Swiss Sculptor, Painter, Draftsman, And Engraver, Famous For His Sculptures.
As a surrealist in the 1930s, he created truly innovative sculptural forms, which sometimes resembled toys and games. As an existentialist, after the war he led the way in creating a style that epitomized philosophy’s interests in perception, alienation, and anxiety. He is remembered for his figurative work, which helped make the suffering human figure motif a popular symbol of post-war trauma.
Some of his Main Works:
Tall Figure
Spoon Woman
The Palace at 4 AM
Artistic Movements: Expressionism, Contemporary Art, Surrealism, Cubism, Modern Art.
“It is impossible to do a thing the way I see it because the closer I get the more differently I see.” – Alberto Giacometti
