Alberto Giacometti - Toward the Ultimate Figure (Hardcover)

A comprehensive survey of the work of the legendary Swiss artist,
this book illustrates and examines more than 100 of his sculptures,
paintings, drawings, and prints This lavishly illustrated
retrospective traces the early and midcareer development of the
preeminent Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966), examining
the emergence of his distinct figural style through works including
a series of walking men, elongated standing women, and numerous
busts. Rare paintings and drawings from his formative period show
the significance of landscape in Giacometti's work, while also
revealing the influence of the postimpressionist painters that
surrounded his father, the artist Giovanni Giacometti. Other areas
of inquiry on which Alberto Giacometti casts new light are his
studio practice-amply illustrated with photographs-his obsessive
focus on depicting the human head, his collaborations with poets
and writers, and his development of the walking man sculpture,
thanks to numerous drawings, many of which have never been shown.
Original essays by modern art and Giacometti specialists shed new
light on era-defining sculptural masterpieces, including the
Walking Man, the Nose, and the Chariot, or on key aspects of his
work, such as the significance of surrealism, his drawing practice,
or the question of space. Distributed for the Cleveland Museum of
