Tall Men & Ostrich Eggs

______________________________________________________________________________________







 

If this walking man 

needed an ostrich egg
He might say

 Brother, can you spare an egg?




And his brother would say

I sure can, Brother



The brothers are Alberto & Diego Giacometti.

 Alberto was 13 months older.

Both sculptors worked in the same studio.





Alberto Giacometti
(1901-1966)
who created  The Walking Man

Diego Giacometti
(1902-1985)
who created  The Ostrich Egg















All brothers
should be 
so accommodating!

      But we can always find an Ostrich
      from the Ersatz store.
