( APPROX. 8" TALL )In the postwar period 'abstract' art was waging a war of public opinion.
Younger 'moderns' got it and embraced the new, while previous
generations thought it was just a license for artistic laziness or worse.Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti embraced cubism when he was younger and
after the war started with his first, now iconic, "tall man" style sculptures.
Giacometti had injured his foot and walked with a cane for awhile
until forsaking it. This injury led many art historians to believe
it set his subconscious in motion for the "walking man" and "falling man"
series of sculptures. Giacometti wanted many variations of his works and when he liked a sculpture/subject
he often did many versions of them, all with their own unique attributes.This sculpture appears to depict a nude young man.
It is extremely similar in composition to the design of Giacometti's "Standing Nude"
paintings and figurine sculptures from the 1946-1948 period.In excellent vintage condition. This piece is a bit of art history and will enrich your NY penthouse,
Palm Springs atomic ranch home, or Swiss chateau!M A G N I F I C E N T A B S T R A C T A R T F O RY O U R E X Q U I S I T E I N T E R I O R S text, images and descriptions Copyright GALLERY 20TH. 2027. All Rights Reserved.
