Alberto Giacometti's sculptures fascinate me. They look at a different aspect of the human body, his elongated sculptures represent the shadows that our bodies cast. By removing definition such as eyes, ears and nose...allows you to appreciate the sculpture firstly as a whole and then it allows to further look at the more defined markings. I admire his confidence to play around with scale, because the sculptures have large feet you start from the bottom and work your way up, which emphasises the the scale of the piece. He usually either chooses to make his sculpture really tall or very small, there is no in between as this would not attract the viewer I don't think, you are drawn to them because they are unusual and out of proportion.
