"He looks insane and exalted, both ancient and childish, astride the windowsill like some scarecrow equestrian, a park statue by Giacometti." (196)
Alberto Giacometti was a surrealist sculptor born in 1901. He made statues of people that had elongated limbs and skinny bodies. They look like they are just bones or a shadow of a person. Richards body is compared to Giacometti's statues because he is near death and looks like a skeleton.
