Description
A painting of his brother, this captures the intense thought contained in Giacometti's paintings. He felt that the process of painting a model was alienating, saying that "When he poses for me I don’t recognise him". This is reflected in the simple style and plain but descriptive name, both common features of Giacometti's style.
