Giacometti at Tate Modern; Venice
Biennale 2017
Giacometti
One can understand why the
existentialists liked Giacometti. His schtick is stick people; and what art
could be more eloquent about the fragility, almost Nothingness of Being (Le
Neant in Sartre’s phrase), yet still suggesting movement and thereby human
potential? Survivors of concentration camp and gulag, but striding rather than
staggering.
