This man and Samuel Beckett obsessed over the design of a tree for a Paris revival of Waiting for Godot.
This artist voluntarily left the Surrealist movement in the midst of a mock tribunal designed to excommunicate him for daring to work with models. This man and Samuel Beckett obsessed over the design of a tree for a Paris revival of Waiting for Godot. A series by him grew from a commission to decorate the Chase Manhattan Plaza that he was unable to fulfill. He celebrated a six-month affair with a woman by using matches to construct a rudimentary (*) scaffolding for a house. He sculpted many lone figures stepping towards each other in pieces like The City Square. This artist of The Palace at 4 AM sculpted a terrifying hybrid human-praying mantis in Woman with Her Throat Cut, but is best known for his sculptures of tall, really wiry people in motion. For 10 points, name this Swiss sculptor of the elongated Walking Man series.
