From Graphikmappe Hochschule St. Gallen, 1967
With a bare, almost trembling stroke, he inscribes in space the fragile silhouette of a man standing, facing an isolated sun, suspended in the white void of the page.
The economy of means reinforces the power of the image: a figure, a source of light, and between the two, an undefined, almost metaphysical space. Everything plays out in this distance. The man seems both anchored in the world and in search of elsewhere, his presence wavering between appearance and erasure.
Through its extreme simplicity, this lithograph embodies Giacometti's essential quest: to express being in its most naked presence, to affirm the dignity of the human figure in the face of immensity. Standing Man and Sun is less a scene than an experience of the gaze, a silent face-to-face encounter between light and existence.
