You see a square of soft, glowing colors—pinks, blues, and yellows—blurred together like sunlight through fog. Giacometti made this when he was only 26, before he became known for anything else. The colors don’t form a scene; they just *are*, like a mood you can’t name. It feels quiet, almost secret. If you like how this feels, try looking up the technique: pastel.
