Alberto Giacometti, Sculptor of the Gaze

A journey into the life and works of Alberto Giacometti (1901−1966), who revolutionized 20^th century sculpture. It is Giacometti himself who guides us with his gravelly voice and true Italian flair. His first experiments with reduction, around the age of 18, set the path for research that he would pursue for the rest of his life. Along the way, he flirted with the various currents of the time — Cubism, Negro art, Abstraction and Surrealism — before defining his own vision, which beginning in 1946 came to full fruition.
