Stately beauty

Sculpture of a woman in a large empty space. All attention is drawn to her naked figure. A truly moving image.
Giacometti has put her on a pedestal in the form of a chariot, which creates a strange tension. She is on view but doesn’t look a fool. On the contrary: straight and respectable she stands; ‘this is me’, deserving to be seen.
