Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) Swiss sculptor and painter, son of the impressionist painter Giovannia Giacometti. In the 1930s and thereafter, he created highly original sculptures of elongated, emaciated human figures, usually in bronze. Giacometti's haunting images have been described as perfect expressions of existentialist pessimism.
