Alberto Giacometti : Dialogue with the History of Art

From Giacometti's impressionistic roots to his latter spindly bronzes, this comprehensive volume details touching graphite sketches, ink drawings, oil paintings and study upon study (often from photographs and often made 'on site' on the adjacent page in a book). Three essays discuss Giacometti, his art and his context. Each is accompanied by beautiful dull page shots of the artist in his studio. Also includes a full biography.
