• Alberto Giacometti (
• was born October 10, 1901 in an Italian-speaking
  part of Switzerland. He came from an artistic
  background. His father was a well known painter
  from the Post-Impressionist period.
• Alberto was the oldest of four children. He was
  especially close to his younger brother, Diego.
  From the age of 14, he made many portrait busts
  using Diego as his model - a bust is a sculpture
  of a person's head and shoulders.
• He was a Swiss painter, draftsman, printmaker,
  and sculptor. I think I like his Surrealistic
  sculptures the best. He is famous for his
  elongated human forms which depict the way a
  person sits in a car, the way a man crosses the
  street, the way a cafe table looks.
• During and after the time of WW2, he saidI
  could not understand it. All my statues ended up
  one centimeter high. One more touch and hop! the
  statue vanishes. Though, some inferred that his
  sensitivity to the nature of human existence was
  intensified by the horror of the war.
