Alberto Giacometti: A Comprehensive Retrospective This lavishly illustrated book presents over 100 works by the renowned Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti, spanning his early and mid-career development. The publication showcases Giacometti's distinctive figural style, including iconic sculptures such as walking men, standing women, and busts. Rare paintings and drawings from Giacometti's formative period highlight the significance of landscape in his work, while also revealing the influence of post-impressionist painters that surrounded his father. The book also delves into Giacometti's studio practice, his obsessive focus on depicting the human head, and his collaborations with poets and writers. Original essays by modern art specialists shed new light on era-defining sculptural masterpieces and key aspects of Giacometti's work, including surrealism and drawing practice.
