About Alberto Giacometti
Alberto Giacometti (1901–1966) was a renowned Swiss sculptor, painter, and draftsman known for his iconic, elongated, and fragile figures representing human isolation and existentialism. Based largely in Paris, he transitioned from Surrealism to a distinct, highly textured figurative style. His work is considered a cornerstone of 20th-century art.

About Giovanni Giacometti
Giovanni Giacometti (1868–1933) was a prominent Swiss painter, recognized for bridging Post-Impressionism, Divisionism, and Expressionism through his vibrant, light-filled alpine landscapes. Born in Stampa, he trained in Munich and Paris, later finding inspiration in the Swiss Alps, influenced by his mentor, Giovanni Segantini. He is also noted as the father of artists Alberto and Diego Giacometti.

Diego Giacometti
Diego Giacometti (1902–1985) was a renowned Swiss sculptor and furniture designer, recognized for his distinctive bronze, animal-themed creations and for being the brother and collaborator of Alberto Giacometti. Born to Post-Impressionist painter Giovanni Giacometti, Diego moved to Paris in 1925 to assist Alberto, only emerging as an independent artist specializing in furniture after 1966.
