Alberto Giacometti is more than a major twentieth-century artist — he is also
one of the century’s most intriguing characters. This biography, the result of
new research, takes us into the private life of an artist haunted by his
oeuvre, driven relentlessly by an uncompromising and demanding nature.
Following a childhood spent in his father’s studio in Switzerland, and then
his student days in Paris studying under the sculptor Antoine Bourdelle, the
young artist split from his early mentors, looking instead to cubism, then
surrealism. He earned near-immediate recognition for his work and the admiring
friendship of André Breton, yet Giacometti soon turned his back on the
surrealist objects that had brought him fame, opting instead to break away on
his own — a choice that led him to the margins of mainstream movements. A
friend to leading artists and intellectuals, he made his own way in the
solitude of his legendary studio in Montparnasse. Strongly attracted to human
representation and influenced by archaic and non-Western art, he eschewed
naturalist representation in favor of a synoptic and sometimes tortured vision
of the figure — one filled with mysterious power. Catherine Grenier recounts
the exceptional story of Alberto Giacometti, his life, career, and work, in a
biography that is every bit as thrilling as a novel.
