Giacometti abandoned surrealist images in 1935. In the 1930s and thereafter, he created highly original sculptures of elongated, emaciated human figures, usually in bronze. He also made open cagelike structures (e.g., The Palace at 4 descr='[AM]', 1933; Mus. of Modern Art, New York City) that were equally powerful.
