Alberto Giacometti. Inauguration of the Fondation Maeght, Saint-Paul-de-Vence 1964.

The artist Alberto Giacometti in profile during the inauguration of the Fondation Maeght in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, 1964. In this high-contrast photograph, dramatic backlighting creates a glowing outline around his dark, voluminous hair. His facial features are cast in deep shadow, defined by their silhouette. Against the almost completely black background, the crisp white collar of his dark suit is sharply illuminated, forming a striking arc of light.
