Giacometti harnesses the power of etching and lithography to preserve the essence of freedom and spontaneity found in drawing. Through these mediums, the artist endeavors to propagate his artistic creations and philosophical musings encompassing forms, identity, and space.
Sartre aptly described Giacometti as a consummate existentialist artist, existing in a realm that intertwines being and nothingness. With his iconic spindly figures, Giacometti masterfully amalgamates his two profound obsessions: the symbolism of objects and the reduction of matter.
