As an artist, Giacometti was preoccupied throughout his life with his inadequacy in depicting reality.
In the 1930s he exhibited his work with the Surrealists, but soon went his own way. Instead of looking to the abstract art that dominated Paris at the time, he looked backwards in art history – to prehistoric art and non-Western artefacts.
Alberto Giacometti went his own way in European modernism, constantly searching for a new visual language for sculpture as the “double of reality”. In the exhibition “Giacometti – Face to Face” you will meet sculpture and painting and follow the evolution of Giacometti’s art, from post-cubism and surrealism to post-war realism.
