Giacometti

Origins

Giacometti is a visual style that emerged in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1940s and 1950s, and is associated with the Swiss sculptor and painter Alberto Giacometti. This style became famous for its distinctive elongated and thin figures, often characterized by a sense of isolation and existential angst. Giacometti's work emphasized the human form, depicting figures that seemed to be stretched to their limits, capturing the fragility and vulnerability of the human condition.
