A Swiss artist, Giacometti was a well-known sculptor and painter. Giacometti accompanies Breton to a flea market in Section 3. In Section 3, Breton describes a sculpture Giacometti has been working on and Breton notes that the face of the sculpture in particular still needs completion. When the two visit the flea market, Giacometti finds a metal mask that Breton contends acts as an inspirational catalyst to finish the sculpture.
