1 Answer
In what way was Giacometti a Surrealist?
Giacometti was a Surrealist in the sense that, during the early 1930s, his work reflected his psychological state. Art historians refer to this period in the Italian sculptor's career as his Surrealist period. Some works made during this time include Suspended Ball, The Palace at 4 a.m., Woman With Her Throat Cut and L'Objet Invisible. Find a collection of Alberto Giacometti art on 1stDibs.
