Giacometti: Idea, Archetype and Existence as Basis of a Humanist Aesthetics

Abstract

This paper studies the movement from an essential order to an existential one in Giacometti’s work. The sculptor will try to join these two orders by means of the human figure. This attempt can be understood as a first step of a humanist aesthetics.
