In drawing, painting, and sculpture, Giacometti’s works perceive the grace in form’s most minimal, reducing his subjects to the truth of what they embody. Over the course of his lifetime, against the shifting backdrop of two world wars, and closely involved with the poets, writers, and philosophers of his generation, Giacometti’s figures evolved from Post-Cubism to Surrealism to postwar realism, opening into themes of light and darkness, destruction, and truth. In “L’Homme Qui Marche: Une icône de l’art du XXè siècle,” currently on view at the Institut Giacometti in Paris, all the life-size models of Giacometti’s most famous work, “The Walking Man,” are gathered together in the same exhibition for the first time.
