6. Alberto Giacometti’s Art His unique style in sculptures was accomplished by dripping plaster into molds making it very eye catching. He does not use many colors in his sculptures, so many of his bronze pieces have a very distinct texture including a very rust like one. This really is one of the most interesting things he does with his work. Hang-dog, 1951 "Alberto Giacometti - Dog 1951." Flickr. Yahoo!, n.d. Web. 16 Oct. 2014. Nose, 1949 "Guggenheim."

7. Alberto Giacometti’s Art Alberto Giacometti has created many visual, 3 dimensional abstract pieces and he does them all to his own rules. Creating things people would not want to normally incorporate into art, or even see as art. He loved to look at African and Oceanic art then turn it into something meaningful to make the viewer see something he wanted thought about. He even created many things with no other purpose but to be entertaining. Head of a man on a Rod, 1947 "Scala Archives -." Scala Archives -. N.p., n.d. Web. 16 Oct. 2014.
