Sculptor Alberto Giacometti was born on October 10, 1901, in Borgonovo, Switzerland. He died on January 11, 1966. His father, Giovanni Giacometti, a leading Swiss Impressionist painter, began creating paintings and sculptures in his father's studio from a young age. After graduating from high school in 1919, he entered the Geneva School of Fine Arts, but abandoned his painting career after only a few days. He then devoted himself to studying sculpture under Maurice Sarkissoff at the Geneva School of Applied Arts. In 1922, he moved to Paris and entered the Académie de la Grande Chaumière. After becoming a student of Antoine Bourdelle, his work gradually became influenced by Cubism. In 1927, he exhibited his works for the first time at the Paris Salon. In the 1930s, Giacometti actively interacted with the leading Surrealists of Paris. This led to the creation of his "Suspended Spheres," a work of two three-dimensional objects suspended by a string, which Dalí called a "symbolic object." Various interpretations, including that the two objects represent a man and a woman, were later given various Freudian perspectives. While Giacometti continued to explore Surrealism, in the late 1930s his style shifted to a pursuit of the realism inherent in the human body. He produced a series of sculptures in which the human body was stripped of all unnecessary elements and stretched into thin, thread-like forms. Furthermore, from the late 1940s onward, he incorporated this motif into drawings and tableaux. In his later years, Giacometti's work was highly acclaimed, and in 1969 he published a collection of prints entitled "Endless Paris." The book contains 150 lithographs that he created in the past, depicting the Paris of that time as it appeared to him.
