This book references all the artist's periods and media: sculpture
(plaster, bronze), paintings, drawings, prints… It will allow a
comprehensive view of Alberto Giacometti's creation, from early
works to the surrealist period, from the return to figuration to
his work from models, and to the invention of the great post-war
icons. Over 230 works are represented, including several
masterpieces such as Spoon Woman (1927), The Invisible Object
(1934-35), Woman with Chariot (1945), The Nose (1947), and Walking
Man (1960).Giacometti’s works are separated into in fourteen
original sections revealing the themes favoured by the artist - the
representation of the head, the face, the female body, etc. The
book is punctuated by seven essays written by leading art
historians who dwell on the detours and questions that mark Alberto
Giacometti's creative process, but also allow the reader to
discover his relationship to loneliness, melancholy, and his hard
work with his models: his wife Annette, his brother Diego, his
close friends. This catalogue aims to introduce the reader to
another Giacometti, the one who experiments with the limits of
sculpture, and the formidable painter who also practices, alongside
the portrait, the genres of landscape or still life.
