Von der hinteren Coverseite

Newly revised, this affordable, richly-illustrated compact edition is the most definitive biographical study on the multifaceted artist and his oeuvre. Written by an internationally renowned scholar and personal friend of the artist, this new edition, revised with the Giacometti foundation in Paris, is both an erudite and intimate study that features exclusive archival material and first-hand accounts of the artist at work. Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) is best known for his eerie series of bronze statues portraying wraithlike, emaciated figures which he created during a period of prolific artistic activity, stimulated by the devastating events of World War II. However, he was also an accomplished painter, draftsman, and lithographer, and came from an artistic background. Going beyond a traditional analysis of the artist's sculptures for which he is most renowned, Yves Bonnefoy's incisive text reveals how Giacometti was one of the most diverse artists of the past century.
