Giacometti

I have always been a major admirer of the work of Alberto Giacometti. His elongated, brittle forms are beautifully haunting and always conjure up images of post-war thoughts of loss and desperation, for me. The Swiss artist currently is the subject of a major show at the Beyeler Foundation in Basel.
