Alberto Giacometti “Man Walking II” 1950 - copyright ADAGP 1976.

This is a beautifully framed and very rare Alberto Giacometti lithograph on laid paper of “Man Walking II” (L’Homme Qui Marche II). You won’t find this available anywhere else!

This is an important lithograph by Alberto Giacometti. The copyright is “ADAGP 1979” (bottom left) and it is signed in the plate to the bottom right. The Giacometti Foundation decided to entrust ADAGP with the management of its copyright.

The image is of Giacometti’s sculpture “l'Homme qui marche II” (1960).

Alberto Giacometti helped revolutionize representational sculpture with his withered, elongated human forms. The artist drew on the influences of Cubism, Surrealism and African sculpture as he moved away from realistic constructions of the body and towards mythic, totemic bronzes. A sense of alienation permeates Giacometti’s work, evoking the existentialist thought of his friend Jean-Paul Sartre and the social and political upheavals that the artist experienced in early 20th-century Europe.
