This introduction explores the life and artistry of Alberto Giacometti, celebrated for his distinctive style and visionary approach that established him as a leading sculptor of the post-war period. Known especially for his slender, ghostly figures, Giacometti’s journey traces his development from early sketchbooks and paintings influenced by his father’s vibrant post-impressionism to a profound encounter with mortality that deeply influenced his lifelong artistic focus.
