Eyes, by Alberto Giacometti, Lithograph Print
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
This framed 22.25" x 18.25" lithograph print on paper by artist Alberto Giacometti features the piercing eyes from a partially obscured face. His emphasis on the gestural drawing of the right eye is particularly haunting. The print is signed in the plate. The publisher is Giulio Einaudi - Turin, Italy. The work has a linen mat under glass and is in a silver frame. The art measures 8.25"x10.25. Provenance - The piece is from the estate of Laura Odell, (1922-2021), a Manhattan, NY Interior designer. Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) was a Swiss born sculpture, painter, and printmaker. One of the foremost sculptures of the 20th century, Giacometti was heavily influenced by Cubism and Surrealism. He moved to Paris in 1922 forming relationships alongside Miró, Picasso, and Max Ernst. By the 1940's Giacometti had shifted his focus almost exclusively to sculpting the human head, often using his sister artist Isabel Rawsthrone as a model. During WWII he found refuge in Switzerland and met a Red Cross nurse...
