| dc.description | Giacometti instended the statue and its title as a slight to the Surrealist cult of object. He borrowed the stylized human shapes from a Solomon Islands "Seated Statue of a Deceased Woman" which he has seen in Basel and combined with other elements of Oceanic art, such as the bird-like demon of death. -- From Alberto Giacometti : a Retrospective Exhibition.
