Please note: Artists not classified as American in our database may have limited biographical data
compared to the extensive information about American artists.
Alberto Giacometti was the son of Swiss impressionist painter Giovanni Giacometti. He was born in Stampa in the Bregaglia Valley in 1901. He displayed a talent for painting and sculpture at an early age and with his father's guidance he made his earliest drawings, paintings and sculpture using his family for models. By age ten he had progressed from a simple illustration of Snow White to a detailed copy of Rembrandt's Good Samaritan. His first bust, made when he was just thirteen, was of his you (showing 500 of 3739 characters). |
