We have 300 artworks by Alberto Giacometti online.
We have 1824 paintings online.
In a Parisian interior, Alberto presents himself between two mirrors, so that an escape of counter-reflections opens up, which tends to expand into infinity. In its frontality, detail and concentration on the gaze, the picture ties in with portraits by Ferdinand Hodler and at the same time points to Alberto's mature art.
