The Swiss artist Alberto Giacometti participated in Parisian
literary and cultural circles from the early meetings of the
Surrealists to existentialism and the diverse currents in art and
poetry that followed. Numerous writers were inspired to respond to
his sculpture, drawing, painting and publications during his
lifetime and after his death in 1966. This book considers examples
of poesie critique devoted to Giacometti's work by major French
poets and thinkers from Andre Breton to Yves Bonnefoy. Through
close readings of key texts, it discusses the extent to which each
writer has succeeded in overcoming the dichotomy between a text and
its visual stimulus that so often leads to a hierarchical
relationship. Many of these writers focus on the materiality of
Giacometti's works of art and of the written word. Examination of
their writings thus allows new understandings of poesie critique
and ekphrasis to be developed.
