Alberto Giacometti “groping”

Abstract

This article explores the issue of the sense of touch in Alberto Giacometti´s work, under the slogan of deepening about the fundamental artistic sensibility, that characterizes every period of crisis. Although scarcely it has been indicated, Giacometti´s interest in recreating the sensation and the physical facts, it was kept throughout Giacometti´s artistic development. His attention to the hand, has a vital importance when Alberto proposes «return to work» from 1934, leaving aside the surrealistic experience.
