Man Pointing by Alberto Giacometti

That man pointed to the text box of Alberto Giacometti. This work is not one of the biggest works of Giacometti, but it is quite large, and it is 69.5 "x 35.5" in size. Unlike many famous figures, Giacometti stretches limbs and body to thin it until it looks like a bean stalk. The man stood straight up and the feet looked almost like a wire. They are disproportionate compared to the fuselage and the fuselage is very fragile. At the same time, the extended arm is very thin and long, so it helps to add a distinct contrast to this monolith.

In 1947 the Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti founded L`Homme au doigt (Pointing Man). The sculpture is made of bronze and its height is 180 cm. Giacometti produced a total of 6 sculptures and artists' certificates. Four of these works are on display at museums throughout the world, including the Tate Gallery in London and the Museum of Modern Art in New York. In 2015, one of the actors sold to an unknown purchaser at 112.8 pounds and became the most expensive sculpture on the planet. Giacometti also created the second expensive sculpture in history, L`Homme qui marche I (The Walking Man I). This work was bought by Lily Safra of Brazilian society in 2010 for £ 95.5 million. The top 3 was completed by Ameteo Modigliani by Tête sold in 2010 to an anonymous buyer at 51.6 million pounds.

Alberto Giacometti denied that he directly linked "Walking Man I" to "tragedy of war", but he used this work to describe "absurdity and vulnerability of human beings" . A man is suffering from the surroundings and life clearly, but he is still moving forward with a tight skeleton skin. Francis Bacon is welcomed as one of the most painful examples of existential art after the war. "Study for the heart of the screaming papal" shows a sharp movement distorting the face of a screaming person; this is a picture reminiscent of popular emotions ... a human image is a I am screaming inside "If existentialism can be put together in a word,

Existentialism also contributed to the postwar figurative arts, especially the discussions of Alberto Giacometti and Francis Bacon's work. This is a sign of the spread of philosophy, and it is widely believed that philosophy is an intellectual expression of anxiety about the human fate of the nuclear power era. The term "existentialism" was made by French philosopher Gabriel Marcel in the 20th century, but its roots are much later than it; people are even Prussian philosopher Immanuel Kant (1724) I can. -1804) found that trace in its mind, he believes that humans are defined by universal quality. In other words, the essence of human being is ubiquitous, its essence depends on external factors such as history and environment, but it overrides the existence of the world. This theme later played an important role in existentialism.
