Among the artists that have been mentioned in this Unit, I have chosen Alberto Giacometti. He is the perfect example of Existentialism. Existentialism is an art form that covered the post war traumatic life experience and the depression and the loneliness of the people which existed mainly after the war and during the Great Depression and this is perfectly presented by his artwork “Invisible object: Hands Holding the void”.
