Alberto & Diego Giacometti

Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966):
Alberto Giacometti was a Swiss sculptor, painter, and printmaker, best known for his elongated, slender sculptures of the human form. His works, which often evoke themes of isolation and the human condition, are considered some of the most important contributions to modern art. After studying in Paris in the 1920s, he became involved with the Surrealist movement but later developed his own distinct style. His iconic sculptures, such as Walking Man and The Square, convey a sense of fragility and existential tension, often creating a stark contrast between the figure and its surrounding space.
 
Diego Giacometti (1902–1985):
Diego Giacometti, the younger brother of Alberto, was a Swiss sculptor and designer, also closely linked to the world of modern art. Though he is often overshadowed by Alberto, Diego's works are notable for their finely crafted and delicate metal sculptures, which include furniture, lighting, and animal forms. Diego frequently collaborated with his brother and was deeply involved in the creation of sculptures and decor for both private commissions and exhibitions. His work combines functional design with artistic expression, showing a meticulous attention to detail.
