Femme debout

1947
Not on view
Peu après 1945, Giacometti mit fin à son expérimentation de petits personnages d’un ou deux centimètres de hauteur et privilégia des silhouettes plus allongées. En 1947, trois grands thèmes avaient émergé : l’homme en marche, la femme debout, et le buste (ou la tête). Dépourvue de volume et de masse, cette femme plus grande que nature paraît lointaine et immatérielle, impression accentuée par la peinture grège et mate que l’artiste a appliquée sur le bronze. La surface semble érodée et desquamée par des siècles d’exposition aux intempéries. La posture, enfin, rappelle certaines statues de l’Égypte ancienne.
