Alberto Giacometti's "No More Play" (ASL)
One of the great surrealist sculptors, Alberto Giacometti often incorporated themes of games and play into his early work, as with this piece, titled No More Play. The form the artist uses here resembles a board game with movable pieces, yet the nature of the game is unclear. The ambiguous space and unknowable rules of the “game” represented in No More Play make the piece feel like an object one might encounter in a dream.
