#2 At the Art Museum Graubünden in Chur, following the exhibition dedicated to the young Alberto Giacometti in 2023, this year features Augusto Giacometti with his works on paper, which form the foundation of his artistic activity. The exhibition titled "Contemplation. Works on Paper" delves into significant artistic expressions. Augusto Giacometti developed his pictorial language between figuration and abstraction using paper, discovering the delicate pastels and luminous watercolors that corresponded with his desire for the dematerialized figuration of light and color.
At the Art Museum Graubünden in Chur until 28 April 2024.
