The Giacometti brothers: Icons of modern art
Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966)
Widely regarded as one of the greatest sculptors of the 20th century, Alberto Giacometti first explored Cubism and Surrealism in 1920s Paris before developing his distinctive elongated figures – fragile yet powerful forms that made him world-renowned.
As art historian Yves Bonnefoy observed:
“Giacometti’s figures, reduced to their essence, are not ghostly apparitions, but the naked truth of existence.”
His most celebrated works – L’Homme qui marche (Walking Man), L’Homme au doigt (Pointing Man), La Grande Femme debout (Tall Woman) – are cornerstones of modern art, today commanding tens or even hundreds of millions at auction.
Diego Giacometti (1902–1985)
Younger brother of Alberto, Diego Giacometti began as his assistant before becoming a recognized artist in his own right, specializing in furniture and decorative objects. His “furniture-sculptures” – tables, chairs, lanterns – elegantly incorporate animal and vegetal motifs, blending function and poetry.
As curator Daniel Marchesseau noted:
“Diego Giacometti transformed the useful into the poetic, furniture into works of art, giving each table, each lamp, a singular soul.”
Often created as unique pieces or in limited editions, Diego’s works are now among the most desirable on the international art and design market.
