This portrait of Giacometti's brother Diego was made from memory. Like many of the portrait busts from the last few years of Giacometti's life, it shows a heightened interest in the eyes of the subject, creating a gaze that is penetratingly intense. 'If I can hold the look in the eyes, everything else follows', Giacometti explained. Chiavenna was the small Italian town in which the sculptures were cast. This sculpture will surely be a conversation piece as you and others draw upon your own emotional responses and ideas about the art. It is set on a rectangular Brown marble base and it was crafted using the lost wax method. Bronze Dimensions with Marble Base: Height 16 X Width 5 inches. Weight: 14 LBS.
