He created a stir among the Surrealists in the thirties, and was active as a lamp and vase designer. He developed his noted late work, extremely thin bronze figures symbolic of human existence, during and after World War II.

The idea that\u0026nbsp;space and time were as one was central to his concept: the\u0026nbsp;depiction of movement, but also the movement of the viewer, is linked to the period of time in which it occurs as well as the space it transverses.\u003c?XML:NAMESPACE PREFIX = \"O\" \/\u003e\u003cO:P\u003e\u003c\/O:P\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eThis volume from the series \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eArt to Read\u003c\/I\u003e is an outstanding introduction to the life and work of this important and simultaneously puzzling artist, one who decisively influenced our understanding of sculpture in space. \u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e(German edition\u0026nbsp;\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003eISBN 978-3-7757-2372-5)\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u0026nbsp;\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003co:p\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003eExhibition schedule: Fondation Beyeler, Riehen\/Basel, May 31–October 11, 2009\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n\u003cP class=MsoNormal style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt\"\u003e\u003cSPAN lang=EN-US style=\"FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: EN-US\"\u003e\u003cFONT size=2\u003e\u003cBR\u003eIn conjunction with this exhibition a catalogue (German edition \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003eISBN 978-3-7757-2348-0; English edition IS\u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; mso-ansi-language: DE; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: DE; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA\"\u003eBN 978-3-7757-2349-7) \u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003eand an audio guide in the \u003cI style=\"mso-bidi-font-style: normal\"\u003eArt to Hear \u003c\/I\u003eseries \u003cSPAN style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: TheSans; BACKGROUND: white\"\u003e(German edition ISBN 978-3-7757-2392-3)\u003c\/SPAN\u003e are also available.\u003co:p\u003e\u003c\/o:p\u003e\u003c\/FONT\u003e\u003c\/SPAN\u003e\u003c\/P\u003e\n","brand":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49811870744840,"sku":"9783775723732","price":19.8,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0582\/8948\/8049\/files\/odoo_9783775723732_50a369c4-d2db-4faa-a6dd-2c29e9662f72.jpg?v=1744039034","url":"https:\/\/www.hatjecantz.de\/en\/products\/16159-alberto-giacometti","provider":"Hatje Cantz Verlag","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
