About the Item

ALBERTO GIACOMETTI (1901 –1966 Vintage Photo Prints certifies that vintage print is a genuine , authentic, Youssuf Karsh ,vintage quadtone plate printed in 1976 ALBERTO GIACOMETTI (1901 –1966) was a Swiss sculptor, painter, draftsman and printmaker and a pillar of 20th century modernity. Giacometti was one of the most important sculptors of the 20th century. His work was particularly influenced by artistic styles such as Cubism and Surrealism. Philosophical questions about the human condition, as well as existential and phenomenological debates played a significant role in his work. Around 1935 he gave up on his Surrealistic influences in order to pursue a more deepened analysis of figurative compositions. Giacometti wrote texts for periodicals and exhibition catalogues and recorded his thoughts and memories in notebooks and diaries. His self-critical nature led to great doubts about his work and his ability to do justice to his own artistic ideas but acted as a great motivating force. After World War II, Giacometti created his most famous sculptures: his extremely tall and slender figurines. These sculptures were subject to his individual viewing experience—between an imaginary yet real, a tangible yet inaccessible space.
