Alberto Giacometti


Alberto Giacometti sculptures are fascinating to me, he has taken a different aspect of the human body to recreate. His elongated sculptures represent the shadows our bodies create, they start with big feet and grow taller and smaller towards the head.  What interests me most is his confidence to play around with scale, to draw emphasis to particular features on the sculptures. By not having much defined details such as eyes, ears, nose it allows you to study the sculpture firstly as a whole, then you can concentrate on individual markings.
