Alberto Giacometti, Bust of Annette
Alberto Giacometti was a Swiss artist best known for sculptures and painting that toyed with perspectives of reality. His most famous works are of human, skeletal forms with accentuated limbs. The idea was that his figures revealed the inherent features of that human being’s personality or aura. Inspired by the Egyptian and classical collections he saw in Paris, Giacometti’s works blend the archaic with the contemporary. Working through the Second World War and post-war years, his art reflects an era of despair. Giacometti is hailed as being the most important sculptor of the 20th Century.
