Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Possible to link giacometti's sculpture with several movements: Cubism - in its angular forms and overall geometric concepetion ; primitivism - in its reference to ancient fertility idols and African spoon-like figures; and Surrealism - his most Surrealist work was The Palace at 4.a,m, - a mysterious construction in space of precise mechanisms that are of no use but are nevertheless very disturbing.
