Saw these sculptures by Giacometti in the Tate Modern at the end of August this year. I didn't know much about him as a person or as an artist at the time, but I've since looked into his work- not only the sculptures but his sketches and drawings of figures in his studios- and I think I like them even more than I did at first! Looking at the sketches has helped me to see how his ideas come to life and appreciate his 3d work more. I think what attracted me to the figures was how they are not exact copies of the human forms and how expressive and rough they sometimes look.
