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. Signed Gia Cometti, it was crafted using the lost wax method.
