Alberto Giacometti: A Tree as a Woman, a Stone as a Head
Landscape plays an important yet little-known role in the work of Alberto Giacometti, who throughout his life cared for his native region, the Swiss Alps.
This summer, the Institut Giacometti offers an original and surprising look at this theme, through a selection of previously unseen early watercolours, paintings, drawings and emblematic sculptures.
Inspired by Giacometti's own words, the title of the exhibition evokes the artist's sensitivity to the different expressions of nature and shows that, more than a simple motif, the landscape also shapes the main subject of his sculptures: the human figure.
