…hues of black, brown and gray fill his drawing and paintings. It is striking that Giacometti was able to focus his attention so acutely on a few simple subjects in his effort to comprehend the world. Through this work he revealed such complexity and depth. Picasso considered Giacometti to be one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century. His artwork depicted the brutality of life, but showed a yearning for another kind of existence.
