Giacometti, Alberto
1901-1966

       

Swiss-born sculptor whose individualistic style is charac-terized by the extreme elongation and thinness of his figures.

Giacometti's terra -cotta and bronze sculptures have become famous for their unique inter-pretation of proportions and space.

In ' Persons Traversing a Square ' wirelike figures of rough texture move across a flat marble base.
