Giacometti Man Pointing description
“Man Pointing” Description “Man Pointing” is a considerable sculpture that measures 69. ... The sculpture is a man that stands in an upright position. Giacometti chose to cast this figure in bronze. ... Giacometti chose to construct the torso in such a way that appears to be frail and skeletal. ... Form is followed with the manner that Giacometti sculpted the head. ... Giacometti chose to extend the figure’s right arm at a forty-five degree angle to its body and to create a slight bend at the elbow. The figure’s right hand is curled up in a fist except for his index finger, which is fully extended in a gesture that could be described as pointing at something.
