Figura alta

1947
Not on view
Después de 1945, Giacometti dejó de realizar figuras experimentales de uno o dos centímetros de altura y se concentró en piezas de mayores dimensiones. En 1947 ya habían surgido tres temas principales: el caminante, la mujer de pie y el busto o cabeza. Sin masa ni volumen, esta mujer de pie, de tamaño superior al natural, parece distante, como procedente de otro mundo; el efecto es acentuado por la pintura beige mate que el artista ha aplicado al bronce. La superficie rugosa y erosionada hace pensar que la figura ha estado expuesta a la intemperie durante siglos. Su postura evoca la de ciertas estatuas del antiguo Egipto.
