Book Description:
While best-known for his spindly, attenuated figures,
Giacometti also created brilliant work in two dimensions. This
book offers a scholarly assessment of his entire oeuvre and
underscores the continuity between the two phases of his career:
the pre-1935 works, which included his Surrealist sculptures,
and his post-war masterpieces. It details Giacometti s artistic
crisis, when he returned to working from the model and broke
with the Surrealists, and reveals how he began tackling the
problem of situating figures in space in an entirely new way.
This book discusses the relationship between his two- and
three-dimensional works, showing Giacometti to have been as
great a painter as he was a sculptor. Featuring extraordinary
images of the artist at work, this book includes photographs by
Henri Cartier-Bresson, Ugo Mulas, and Man Ray
