Giacometti

A necessary addition to my library.

In addition to his familiar sculptures, this book has quite a few drawings and paintings of the master. What a painter!

Fantastic book

Giacometti well expressed the alienation and estrangement of the human condition in his sculpture.

Surprisingly enough, there are comparatively few quality publications on Giacometti, one of the greatest artists of the XXth century. This catalogue for an exhibition that was held at the Moma and at the Kunsthaus Zurich, draws on the extensive Giacometti holdings of both museums for a comprehensive survey of his career. From his surrealist period to his trademark elongated figures, from his numerous drawings which served as studies both for his sculptures and his paintings, to his lesser-known oils, the whole career and output of the artist is very well illustrated in a book that I highly recommend.
