Lithograph. EA besides of an edition of 75. Signed in pencil lower right: Alberto Giacometti. Image 8 x 5.5 cm on wove paper by BFK Rives (with the watermark) 65.5 x 48.2 cm. Published and printed by Maeght Éditeur, Paris. - Catalogue raisonné: - Kornfeld, no. 391 C. - Not by Lust. // Visage de la mère by Alberto Giacometti, created in 1963, is a limited edition lithograph that embodies the artist’s introspective and intimate approach to portraiture. In this work, which measures 65.5 x 48.2 cm, Giacometti renders a delicate, minimal image of a mother’s face, positioned at the center of an expansive white space. The diminutive size of the portrait against the large, empty background creates a sense of isolation and introspection, drawing attention to the delicate, expressive features of the figure. This composition captures the nuanced emotions of familial bonds, invoking a sense of vulnerability and quiet reverence. Known for his exploration of existential themes, Giacometti’s use of sparse line work and restrained detailing gives this piece a contemplative depth, highlighting the emotional resonance within simplicity.

What is Surrealism?
Surrealism began in the 1920s as an art and literary movement with the goal of revealing the unconscious mind and unleashing the imagination by exploring unusual and dream-like imagery. Influenced by Sigmund Freud’s theories of psychoanalysis, Surrealist artists and writers sought to bring the unconscious into rational life, blurring the lines between reality and dreams. The movement aimed to challenge conventional perceptions and express the irrational aspects of the human experience.
