With Walking Man, Giacometti concentrates the evocative power of his cover and embodies the most important aspiration of his time: to humanize the world, history, and art. This richly illustrated book tells the story of this work, one of the most famous of the 20th century. The genealogy of the motif is traced, from the Walking Woman of the Surrealist period to the icons created in 1959-1960.
Unpublished texts recall the motif's popularity since Antiquity and document Giacometti's creative approach from one variation to another.
