Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) was a renowned Swiss sculptor and painter known for his distinctive minimalist style and elongated figures. He studied art in Paris, where he became associated with the Surrealist movement before developing his signature style in the 1940s. Giacometti's work often explores the themes of existentialism, human perception, and the passage of time. His sculptures, such as "Walking Man" and "Pointing Man," are highly valued for their emotional depth and raw expressiveness. Giacometti's influential legacy continues to inspire artists and art lovers around the world.
