The Walking Man I 1960

"The Walking Man I" is a 1960 bronze sculpture by Alberto Giacometti, known for his elongated and skeletal figures. The sculpture depicts a lone figure with an exaggeratedly thin frame and long, spindly limbs, seemingly caught in mid-stride. The figure's head is tilted forward, gazing towards the ground, lending an air of introspection or melancholy. This work exemplifies Giacometti's signature style of Existentialist art, exploring themes of human isolation and the fragility of existence.
